Harness Your Power: Enjoy the simple things

It is easy to get caught up in striving to achieve the big title, more money and the recognition of others.  In doing so we often load our schedules to the maximum, pushing ourselves to the point of exhaustion.

These days I am finding such joy in the little, simple things in life.  From moments of snuggling with one of my daughters to enjoying a hot cup of tea -- these small gifts add richness to life IF we notice and relish the moment.

As the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday times approach, I recommend that you incorporate relaxation and quiet into the mix.  You don't have to rush around.  You don't have to be in an over-scheduled frenzy.  You have a choice to move at a slower pace if you wish, and as you do, take in the feel of the cold air on your cheek, the smile of a child sledding down a hill or the aroma of the turkey coming from the oven. 

The gifts of life abound.  How many of these marvels are you taking the time to experience?

I challenge you this week to slow down and breathe.  Stop for a moment and take in your surroundings.  Engage all of your senses and unite with the moment of life you are in.  You may find your life is filled with treasures you have been overlooking.

Slowing my pace with you,
Patricia Omoqui, The Thought Dr.
