Do something Friday

Make a plan to breathe, my friends!  We have had some beautiful sunrises the last couple days.  The moon is huge at night!!  The air is warmer and the birds are back and singing about spring.

How many of these things have you noticed?

Your task for the weekend:

Plan on taking your first cup of coffee (or whatever powers your day) while mindfully appreciating some spring-focused natural phenomenon.  So...if your an early riser, plant yourself in front of the window and watch the colors of the sky as the sun rises.

If you find yourself sleeping in, take your coffee or OJ out to the deck and appreciate the bird song.

And as you're appreciating nature, take the extra time to appreciate the warmth of the mug in your hands, the flavor of the drinks, the way the steam rises up.

There's so much to notice about the activities we engage in every day.  Bring some awareness to them this weekend!

Your Time is Precious



Take Action Today

 Time's precious -- sometimes we all forget that.  And then something happens (let's be honest, usually it is something bad) that shakes us out of our rut and makes us realize that we are living in the past or living in the future but most definitely not living in the present. 

Here is your call to action:  if you've been reading this blog for a while but haven't committed to putting it into action, or....

You were really living your mindful eating but have fallen off the wagon just a bit....

Now is the time to take action.  Today.  You can appreciate the fact that you are living, breathing, have the opportunity to make decisions for yourself.  Live today today.  Eat today for your needs today -- taste every bite and put down the ones that don't taste fantastic -- just for today.  I bet it will make you feel GREAT (today)!

And while I appreciate all of you out there who are reading and thinking about wanting to become more mindful -- thinking about it won't do anything for you -- action is what counts!  So....print this out, make lots of copies and post them everywhere in your environment -- your desk, your fridge, your bathroom mirror, attached to your car keys, folded around the money in your wallet -- TAKE ACTION TODAY!
