This Moment is THE Moment

I hope you all had a great week. I was very grateful to have a few days away with my family. It served as an opportunity to slow down, but that wasn’t as easy for me to do as I had hoped. It took a couple of days for me to settle and during those days I found myself swirling around in a bit of self judgement. The irony of that was not lost on me. Self judgment creates even less opportunity to be present which in turn creates more judgement. There was a clear cycle of thought that I needed to shift. When I noticed my mind spinning (which was quite often those first couple of days) I repeated a mantra to myself ; THIS moment is THE moment. Slowly I noticed a shift. Repeating that reminder helped me back to the present.

That is my intention for 2024. To practice quieting the external chaos in the world a bit so more of my moments are THE moments.
