Inhale. exhale. enjoy.

What can you appreciate about this very moment?

​This week’s Soul Note is going to be short and sweet.

Take a moment right now to slow down, let go of the day so far and set aside any business in your mind of what is to come.

Now close your eyes, take three deep breaths and look around you.

How does the present moment look different?  What can you enjoy about this moment - right here - right now?

If the answer isn’t obvious to you, repeat the steps above and try a few more times.  Your nervous system may just need a few more breaths to help the body settle.

It’s important to have times to feel into our pain, our hurts, our fears and struggles.  It’s important not to bypass these things.  We do need to tend to them.

But life can be both.

At the same time.

We can have moments of joy during times of struggle. 

Today I’d like to give you permission to find moments of enjoyment even if things are feeling hard right now.  It is these moments that will uplift you and support you through to the other side.

You may want to set a reminder in your phone to come back to this practice a few times this week or even a few times each day.  Get curious to see how doing this short and sweet practice may help turn things around for you.

What can you appreciate about this very moment?

With Love,
