Stop sitting there with your hands folded looking on, doing nothing; Get into action and live this full and glorious life.
Eileen Caddy Quotes
Power Thought Coaching:
In the crush of day to day life an examined life might look completely out of reach. Living spaces, work areas and even wilderness parks are becoming busier and more and more cramped. Creating both the time and the space to deeply ponder the nature of life and the quality of our own lives – and what we would wish for them – is seeming more and more like just a nice idea. It’s a journey that takes a lot of courage to face and many times the things on our to do list are little more than a way to avoid facing the awful truth of what we have – and haven’t – created in our lives. What activities can you de-clutter from your to do list? What have you turned into daily rituals that don’t have to be? What daily or weekly rituals could you redesign to lighten your burden or even outsource altogether?

I make it a point to pause at least 15 minutes each day to just stare out of my office window to appreciate the sunshine or even the rain, to say a short prayer of thanksgiving, and I spend the remaining minutes, I spend it thinking about nothing at all. Then, I breathe deeply before going back to work.
I try not to aim for perfection all the time. I think it’s our obsession with perfection that’s bringing us a lot of stress. I’m learning to lower expectations from others, too.
What a great practice, Michelle!
I’m not in the habit of doing it daily but I’m working on it. Thankfully I need to let the dog out throughout the day and it’s a constant reminder to just relax and enjoy those moments.
I think that’s awesome that you don’t aim for perfection and I would love to hear more about how you work on lowering thee expectations of others.
