Okay so this is my first
blog. Am I nervous, nope (whatever, yes). Oftentimes, I have moments
when I am motivated and get inspirational thoughts. I like to put a
time stamp on my thoughts and writings in hopes of allowing myself to
"be in the moment" and reflect back when needed.
Here goes.....
When
was the last time you were in the moment. I am not talking about being
with that special person while thinking about work, school or the
million other things that you need to do. I ask this simple but complex
question because oftentimes (a lot) we are not "in the moment". Our
minds and sometimes hearts (myself included) are racing with a million
things that need to be done. Are
you one of those people (I
AM) that find it
hard to sleep at night because you cannot seem to turn off your mind.
Yep, that's me. I find myself tyring to plan the next day, week or even
month right before bed. I find I am talking to myself about problems
and worries before bed It was not until yesterday (snow day) that I
concluded I needed to focus, let go and be in the moment, more often.
Yesterday, we got (25 inches) of snow (just kidding), so I decided to
take my 5 year old outside to play and make a snowman. Did I really
think this would be fun (a little), but I soon discovered that I really
had a blast. It brought back so many childhood memories that I
immediately called my sister afterwards and we were able to reminisce.
What fun we had!! We walked up and down the street in the snow, we made
a funny looking snowman, made snow angels (yes, I actually got on the
ground) and had a snowball fight. I am telling you I had a
ball. I had so much real childlike fun that adults do not partake in
because we have to many grownup things to do. I was truly "IN the
MOMENT". Playing in the snow may not be your moment, but what is? Being
in the moment means a conscious effort to not think about anything else
but what you are doing.
So put that phone down and enjoy life, smell
the flowers and be in the moment.
You are blessed,
Kareema
