How do I stay in the present when I'm busy?
I honor and remind myself to be grateful when I have a Saturday free in my calendar.
I start my day off with a bowl of steel cuts oats and coffee with almond milk. My kitchen table is clutter free, with fresh cut flowers, and the sunlight shining through the window. I take time to be mindful of every-bite...noticing the delicious honey and cinnamon smell of the oats. I take small bites making sure to enjoy all flavor and textures of the nutty oats and sweet berries. I hold my warm cup of coffee and savor every sip...it's going to be a good day.
After taking some time to digest, I lace up my running shoes and head out for a run by the beach. The breeze it cool, but as I get moving I am sweating in no time. I feel the sunshine on my face and hear the waves crash and the birds chirp. I see surfers, runners, a mother and father pushing a newborn baby in a stroller, and a large yoga class at the park.
