Sunshine. Shadows. Heat. Can you Pause?
Afternoon lull. Close your eyes.
How often do you stop? How frequently do you look at the colours, see the lines as the sunshine lands through your windows? Do you feel the warmth as it streams into your space?
Relax. Hear the distant traffic, the sounds of children laughing, the birds awakened to spring.
Use this moment. Take it as permission to listen and to see what you would usually not notice. Each day we get to decide what we want our lives to mean. In How to Cultivate Meaning and Well-Being Through Simple, Everyday Actions, you will become aware of the power of our choices. We get to appreciate or deny, to weigh our belief in the good in the world, to banish or to celebrate.
Give yourself this one minute regardless of what you are going through today. Don't rush through it. Savour it. Feel it. Bask in it. This minute is always here for you.
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
Let the brightness of the yellow make you smile. Let the pink soften you. Allow the shades of orange to lift you to hope. I hope you giggle at the waters filled with so many tiny bubbles or shed the tears you've been holding. May your spirit re-awaken.
May this pastel pause in the afternoon remind you to notice your special moments. (Tweet this)
