Learning to slow down and enjoy the process has been one of the harder tasks. In this world we live in where everything is instant, we tend to need things to happen immediately or we are not satisfied. We want our house renos to be quick, our fashion and shopping, how we update the world, write a letter, order food, everything is instant.
What happened to taking the time to smell the flowers? Slow and steady wins the race? Enjoy and live in the moment. These are the sayings I am trying to live by in my life. Enjoy the process, enjoy the ride. These sayings resonate not only in the starting of my private art therapy practice, but also in being a new mother as well. My son is growing before my eyes and every day he is different in some way. I tell myself love every moment of this, because this too shall pass.
Let’s teach ourselves to slow down. Pick a nice pace and stick to it. Less rushing, less cramming, more patience and thoughtfulness. Take a few moments and close your eyes and focus on your breath. Breathe deep in and out, and look in your mind’s eye, imagine a moment in time when you are at peace. Content and satisfied. Grateful for all of your blessings. Hold on to that moment, and come back to it every time you find yourself rushing.
I am feeling a calm, excitement about the launch of my new website. I found myself trying to rush the process and then took a step back. Just thought I would share some thoughts to ponder and to remind ourselves to slow down.
Sending with love,
