Walk, work, clean, drive, dig, rush, do, push, hope, went, gone, run, go, late, eat, drink, laugh, solve, help, fix - all words that can consume our ENTIRE day....whatever you're doing, whatever word best describes where you're at this very moment, just STOP. Take a moment, look around, see the colors, and smell whatever flower is around you...no flowers? Then just take a minute to breathe.
I am a true example of someone who doesn't always take time to 'stop and smell the roses," but I certainly try - even if by reminding myself of this - I can't find my superball...I immediately panic, Superball is stuck...I immediately bark, I have a cookie that remains unhid...I feel anxious about finding the perfect spot. Once I get in touch with these feelings, and can stop to take a minute to just breath and relax, eventually it all works out. Not only does it work out but I have remained calm and taken a moment to appreciate the beauty of the flowers as well...
Take a minute, slow down and smell the flowers - let the aroma fill your heart and body, let the colors calm your mind and spirit...
