Sitting in my backyard, with a cup of Cuban coffee and contemplating the rain fall, making that beautiful sound when it touches the floor, the windows, the roof. Pausing to stare at the tireless clouds decorating our beautiful sky. Taking a deep breath in thru my nose, and big exhale out of my mouth, a smile on my face suddenly appears and immediately a feeling of gratitude hugs my heart. A sense of joy I experience in this precious moment that I slowed down to pause and acknowledge my surroundings. Now the Sun is starting to come out, three birds just flew by, and I ask myself, what would I missed if I wouldn’t pause for that moment of enjoyment of mother Nature’s beauty?
As humankind is experiencing a shift on their daily routines, activities and endless to do’s that we allow from now and then, to wrap us in a constant functioning hamster wheel; take advantage of this slow phase to ask yourself: How can this be for good? What is the lesson in this for me? Allow yourself to take moments of pausing, to consciously breath, observe around you and notice your surroundings, you’ll be surprise to see things you never saw before, even if they were there. Flowers, the clouds, your path from your front door to your car, the stars, the moon, birds singing, kids playing, laughing. Learning to be present, rather than just physically but mentally too. Acquiring the gift of being present, allows each of us to not miss out on the endless things, yet simple and meaningful, that matters to ourselves, our families, surroundings, communities and the world that’s housing us while we visit.
Sharing positive vibes and kindness with each and everyone of you!! Namaste.
