In those moments

Paris: January 24, 2022

 

There will be days where suddenly your nervous system will be challenged. 

There will be days where your attention will be pulled in many different directions at once. 

There will be days where your plan of the day will be disrupted with many unexpected situations that will derail you from your main objective. 

There will be days where you might find yourself starting to travel in the unwanted direction of the reactive path. 

It is exactly in those days, where you will realize exactly what is happening inside. 

When you will hold on to your morning practice, the moments outdoors, the smell of soil, the morning light making the Eiffel Tower look pink, the strength of your legs as you ran by those trees listening to the morning sounds in the city. 

It is in those moments when your morning practice will come to the rescue, reminding you to take a deep breath and exhale as you allow your nervous system to re-settle before you take the next step forward. 

Can you take a moment right now to take a deep breath, exhale as you relax your shoulders, notice the sensations of your feet touching the floor, and the sounds around you?
