Miscellaneous
WE CHOOSE WHERE TO FOCUS OUR ATTENTION and where to invest our energy.ANTICIPATION IS AS STIMULATING AS THE ACTUAL EXPERIENCE.BY LEAVING TIME FOR THE MISCELLANEOUS MOMENTS, we actually learn more about what we actually want and are more likely not to settle for less than that because we have explored enough to know what the options are. IRONICALLY, OUR FOCUS ON WHAT WE WANT BECOMES MORE REFINED AS WE GET OLDER, but as we get older, we have less life time to do all of these things. WE GO THROUGH PHASES OF INTEREST AND ABILITY and if we DO NOT do the things we dreamt of, most of life can appear like a series of miscellaneous moments that we did not take full advantage of.WE NEVER GET TIME BACK and there will always be more things to do, but this moment in time is precious. So rather than beating ourselves up for what we did not accomplish, congratulate ourselves on everything we have accomplished.THE THINGS WE ENJOY DOING THE MOST— my suggestion is to start doing them. Right away! Certainly, enjoy the miscellaneous moments, but let them happen naturally while we are actively living our dreams and making every moment count. THINK OF ALL THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO— maybe reprioritize if we need to— and do the things now that require the most amount of physical effort now that you have the energy to put in an little extra effort and make the most of this moment, so it does not get filed under the Miscellaneous moments of your life.WE ARE AWARE OF THE MOMENTS OF OUR LIFE and reality is defined by what we choose to pay attention to. Our attention is what makes it real, so focus on our bucket list and start DOING instead of just dreaming. STOP WAITING AND START CREATING.My intention is to give you mind-shifting strategies that make you feel like your mind is a Zen escape room— a mental sanctuary— so that when things get challenging in the world, you always have a safe space to go, even if it’s just one breath at a time. The visualization and breathing techniques here will help you change your emotional state when life feels stressful and allow you to respond more to the circumstances in life rather than react to them. This connection that we make together has the power to change things. I'm setting the intention that this becomes a global energy. I've been working on a global movement for self-improvement, and I hope to inspire and empower you to do the same.JOIN the Spoken Word Yoga Community.
