BE PRESENT
As the news and noise become heightened with widespread fear being painted in different shades of colours, the need to panic equally arises. As you ask yourself several questions that beg for answers whilst the rush of hormones still gives you the urge to do or not do things in panic mode -to buy, to hoard, to withdraw, to double efforts or slow down. Whatever applies to your situation, the pressure only increases your exposure to different levels of stress according to your current state of being.
Lots of people would feel the need to roll the dice with evolving current world affairs around Covid 19(the deadly Corona virus strain), the fact remains that this current happenings are unprecedented while predictions remain constant as the world events evolves daily.
The trying times would definitely take its toll on you.
Now is the time to press the PAUSE BUTTON to take DEEP BREATHES.
Before any activity, take deep breathes and let your full focus be directed towards it to LIVE IN THE MOMENT.
It means you are on FLIGHT MODE for any other task or activity different from the one at hand.
Allow yourself to be immersed in the moment as you live through each day irrespective of the activities you engage in. As you wake while in bed, brushing, bathing, walking, cooking,eating,praying, conversations, working activities; you can be in tune with yourself while being present wholly for ONLY that activity.
This is not for multitasking or distraction mode activities with phone or television - BE PRESENT fully with your mind, body and soul.
You can live in the moment.
This is a Mindfulness practice that helps you to BE PRESENT AND BE YOU while being mindful of the task or activity you engage in. This calms you and relaxes your nerves, helps you de-stress as it relieves you from overwhelm and stress around you, improves your level of focus and concentration and more benefits for your overall well-being.
This is one practice that has benefited me to allow me be in the ZONE for me by me(laughs) irrespective of the task or activity. It is also worthy to note you can derail or fall off the lane. It’s okay, you can also get back on track once you put your mind to BE PRESENT in any activity you are doing.
So go back in and begin to BE PRESENT to LIVE IN THE MOMENT in all you do to help you live well and happy in any situation.
Love Always,
