Caressing Chaos

"It is far too easy to put off until tomorrow

what we are dreaming of today."

Daily Om

As time passes swiftly, we begin to eliminate activities from our agenda. Unfortunately,  the reaction to hectic pace is shelving important slips of time which would reduce our anxiety.  Why do we continue to dig the deep hole of stress and eliminate personal choices intended to uplift our spirits?

We may not have time to drag out creative projects, but we certainly can step to a window or close our eyes to momentarily imagine breathing in fresh air. Perhaps there is a need to eliminate an appointment for a massage, but there are pauses to stretch our body or tend to our soul by lighting a fragrant candle or a quick dance with our soul. 

Personal neglect is to dishonor ourselves ... body, mind and spirit.  The thought of not having time to nurture due to chaotic schedules, is in fact a fallacy.  By inserting small pauses of comfort actually extends our energy to go further with our overwhelming tasks.
