Adjust Time for Quality of the Day




"Notice how if you can make some time early in the day
for being with no agenda, it can change the quality
of the rest of your day."
Jon Kabat-Zinn

Time contracts and expands depending upon what we are doing and how much we are enjoying the activity.  With intention to get the most out of time allotted, we create agendas, make lists, and develop routines.  We race through our day expending energy to meet our self-created goals.

As we create our schedules, it is important to make space for time to step outside, meditate or stretch our body.  We may say we do not have time for this, but indeed there is time if it is scheduled.  If we respect our brief sessions for nurturing our lovely selves, we will meet our goals in better frame of mind.

When we become creative with our schedules, we discover brief pockets of time waiting to be utilized.  If we are employed outside of the home, travel time can be used to observe the nature surrounding us including interesting human beings.  At the very least, bathroom breaks can become mindfulness moments.  If you are quarantined at home, sing to the baby or read to the sick.  Folding laundry can be a perfect time for creative inspiration.  Utilize moments within the day to refresh and adjust personal well being.
