I have been so busy the past couple of weeks, being consumed by so many things that I started to feel as my heart was put in a bottle...
I've got caught up in my busy schedule that I've slowly stopped noticing the world around me. Yes, I felt like I was losing my mindfulness, wrapped up in my own hectic fast-paced life that kept me from being aware of the bigger picture around me. And it has happened as impalpable as a dream.
I've got caught up in my busy schedule that I've slowly stopped noticing the world around me. Yes, I felt like I was losing my mindfulness, wrapped up in my own hectic fast-paced life that kept me from being aware of the bigger picture around me. And it has happened as impalpable as a dream.
The scariest thing for me has always been losing the wonder, the curiosity, the thought of the world.
But I learn how to get my heart back out of the bottle:
Stop!
Become Present!
Center the attention to notice the beauty in small things!
Look for inspiration – it can happen everywhere; it can be literary everything because everything is
LIFE!
LIFE!
I would do myself a favor as I walk through life: I am promising to myself to slow down and take the time to wonder and dream, to look for the things that put a smile on my face and summer on my steps,
to keep the bottle empty,
but my heart full.
but my heart full.
