Make this moment count

Make this moment count.

Passivity is only for rest and relaxation. wmf

A Well Known Fact:
Each moment is a grain of sand that makes the brick of each year, which builds the structure called your life.

I woke up this morning into a totally quiet thoughtlessness and then in a moment I felt the first stirrings of memory and thought as my eyes, ears, nose and body began the process of drawing sensations into my now conscious brain. Through an act of will I choose a single thought from the near infinite line-up that was quickly building on the fringes of my mind, each one saying “Pick me!, pick me!”…yet the thought I deliberately chose was;

“Today is a brand new beautiful day….and there will never be another one like it!”

It is a simple truth that we all live with, yet it often gets lost is the unbridled activity of sensation, thought and routines that many of us live with. I have discovered that choosing my first thought of the day has, over time, given my day a sense of being the truth that it is….brand new…every moment of it. We’ve never been to now until we get there and too often we get to now and we remember then…or we wonder about the future and the magic of now gets habitually hidden in plain sight of our past present or future pull. The fact is that now is and remains with you every moment of your life and you can use it anyway you like…any idea or thought that you put into now will create or recreate depending on what it is that you place into that infinite fragment of time, space and matter…what an endless opportunity…what a great design!!!

And so for today’s suggestion on How to feel good in 15 minutes or less…do this;
Pick any moment that you can throughout your day…take several deep breaths and release the tension from your body and watch as your mind too will calm. Now try this thought out for size…or choose any thought that you feel is right for you;

“I’ve never been to this moment before…thank you!” Repeat this thought several times in a tone of voice that sounds like you really mean it and put an extra emphasis on the “Thank you!” notice what has changed in how you feel and in how the thoughts in your mind have changed. And….

Have a great day!
