Daily Question, November 22

What can I do to savor more of my life?

  • Journey

    Many of us carry low grade stress and worry at all times. Stressing about things, situations, people, work. I can shift attention away from worry and stress and focus on all the beautiful things that life brings instead. Letting go of the past and letting go of the fear of the future will help me savor more of my present life.

    It’s all about being present, folks. The opportunities for distraction are abundant. I’m a sucker for a distraction in any size, color or taste. The more I bid distractions a fond farewell (they’ve been a big part of my life) the more I’m able to delight in what’s in front of me. I have the key~I just struggle with the lock.

    Do more of what I enjoy. Try to enjoy each moment that I can. Be grateful for all that I have.

    I’m very fortunate to live in an area that has a labyrinth in a park. I’ve been walking that lately, and it simply allows me to enjoy what is happening around me while meditating. Great stuff!

    Yesterday I watched a video clip by bishop Robert Barron about an ex-cardinal. Ever so sincere and honest in his approach, I reflected on his speech and he posed the question on whether it is the right time to abandon the church. Emphatically of course, although he gave a no as an answer, he did say what I should be doing during this troubled times for the church. As a matter of fact that set me thinking and asking “what can I do to savor more of my life”

    Stop. Look. Go.

    At the rise of each new day, realize that being here is a privilege. Being here was not afforded to many people who were here yesterday and who had hoped to be just like myself.

    Gently move from a dominant resting position of casual observer into an active role of co-creator.

    Take time throughout my days to stop and reflect. Really look at what I can be grateful for in that moment. Breathe. Deep in and out breaths. Go sit outside in my yard and take in all the beauty of my home, the trees, the pond, the area we live in and how fortunate we are to be here. Think about how it all worked out so well getting this property and our new home. Tell my loved ones I love them… more than I already do.

    Reflect on and decide what life is for me – is my life’s purpose to have more? to accumulate money, status, power?
    Affirm how I define myself without power, wealth, material possessions, status?

    Affirm my true self.
    Pause.
    Seek quiet inside and outside myself.
    Go barefoot to connect with the natural world and the earth that nurtures life.
    Find peace in a world that is not of my making, but which I can constantly recreate and love.
    Be grateful for every breathe I take.

    I certainly plan too much ahead and tend to set deadlines that would match the society. However, if I really want to enjoy the life I need to take deep breaths. I am learning to be more understanding of other people’s feelings and behaviours. This is helping me a lot to deal with the realations I have with family and friends 😊 Understanding others also helps me to let go of tiny things that spoil moments that are happening right now.

    I am learning to be more understanding of other people’s feelings and behaviours. This is helping me a lot to deal with the realations I have with family and friends 😊 Understanding others also helps me to let go of tiny things that spoil moments that are happening right now. Especially in this pandemic I learned to appreciate little moments as I can’t meet friends and all I have left is phone calls and pictures of our little daily adventures.
    Therefore, trying to be understanding towards people and accepting them for who they are, can save you from wasting time with little arguments and give you more time to enjoy your life 😊
