Be All In

Do you ever look around you and realize you’ve got a million things to do but don’t have the time to do it? Then you become overwhelmed because you realize everything on your to-do list is important and has a deadline? Before you click off this because you just got reminded of all that, it’s important that you stop right there. Take a deep breath and close your eyes. Enjoy this moment of tranquility no matter how short it is. What you did just now was practice mindfulness. Putting this into practice is so important because it reminds us that all we really have is this moment right here and that once it’s gone, it’s not coming back. Practicing mindfulness is not always easy but it’s something we can build up on and be more intentional about. Challenge yourself to try it whether it’s through meditation practices, affirmations, or self care. Sometimes we don’t really have a choice but to let go of the past because it’s gone and the future isn’t even here yet, so all we have is today. Sometimes, good enough has to be good enough. Sometimes, we just need to go with the flow of the day and simply be all in.
