It’s Tuesday and I’m taking a couple of days off from my normal routine this week and spending time at the beach. My intention is to have no intention, just to do whatever I feel like in the moment. I’m really good at sitting still and staring, letting my mind drift wherever it will, so maybe I’ll do that. I’m taking a book and am not looking forward to reading it. If it calls to me, I’ll pick it up. My laptop will be with me and may stay in the bag. My legs may walk me to the ocean and I may find myself diving in. I may sprawl out on the sand, dreaming of ways to create more time off. I may stay up all night and watch TV. Who knows. Who cares!
Our days can be quite regimented. What happens when we let go and change the routine?
Whenever you give your self an opportunity to break away from what you tell your self MUST be done each and every day, you open the door to releasing your self from the mental, emotional and physical pressures you create and allow all parts of your self to have time and space to reorganize themselves.
Stress is cultivated first in the mind, through the thoughts, and doing the same thing over and over without pausing to ask what might feel better can create a vice-like grip through your enitre body.
Let go and allow your self to do one new or different thing today. Give your self the gift of not doing. Permit your self to BE. What might you create from that place? The possibilities are endless.
Amen!
Today’s Powerful and Positive Affirmation is:
I live for now. All is well in my world.
Thanks to all who made this mid-week break possible, to infinite possibility, to the ocean, sand, sun, moon and stars, my Fire Island hosts, Fred, Leslie, Lynn, the LIRR, and me!
Peace.
Joe
