This week was a pretty relaxing week to say the least. After a wonderful holiday with family and only a 2 day work week I am beginning to get used to this overall peaceful state of being and have set the intention to continue with peaceful living into the new year.
With that said this week I am grateful for moments of stillness and peace. I am currently reading a book called The Power of Peace In You by Marlise Karlin and have been inspired to not only incorporate more meditation in my (hopefully daily) life, but more moments of stillness too. I am realizing that these moments don’t have to be long moments and I don’t necessarily have to meditate for an hour a day, but I can benefit from a few deep breaths and stepping back from the hustle and bustle of life. But beyond that I am much happier and live a more peaceful and intentional life when I step back even just a little bit each day.
While I would love to get onto the habit of meditating before I begin each day, I know that may not always be feasible and as I flow with life, sometimes the current may take me away if only momentarily from my practice, and that is ok. But for right now I am grateful for the peace of mind and stillness I am carrying into the new year with hopes of continuing my practice even through challenging times.
What will you carry with you into the new year?
Your post reads peaceful! 🙂 I used to make myself wrong for not meditating in the morning. I decided that meditating in the afternoon is just as good for me! LOL Maybe taking on “meditating when you can” is good enough for you! 🙂
I agree, meditating when I can is just as good, especially with a rambunctious 2 year old running around. It can be difficult to stick to a specific meditation practice.
I love your photos and can’t wait to read more about your journey. 🙂 Thanks for checking out my blog!
I’m so glad you came across my blog! Glad you enjoy my photos! xo
