"Many people are alive but don't touch the miracle of being alive." - Thich Nhat Hanh
Being active and busy doesn't always mean that you are living a life of purpose, meaning, and connection. When your daily routine takes over your ability to experience peace, presence, and a clear mind, it is time to reorient and create space for meaning.
But if adding something to your day brings over a wave of panic - take a deep breath now, because you don't have to find time for something new. *whew*
The age-old practice of mindfulness is getting a new life in the Western world for very good reason. By adding a few minutes of intentional practice a day to the things you are already doing, you can experience a more spacious mind and be a peaceful presence in your life.
