I've been working full time now since April. I used to joke that I retired at 38 when I left my corporate job. I really didn't know if I'd be back working FT ever again. Luckily, I had saved enough money to work very little for many years and experience silence - experience me. The hustle and bustle of modern life can make it difficult to just be, to have silence and relax time, and to let our bodies rest and regenerate. It took over 10 years, but now I'm certain that I want to work until I leave this body. You could say, I want that expressive and creative outlet and a purpose to get up and go out into the world, beyond just myself. Going out in nature and having endless relax time became somewhat old - we are here to experience interaction and expression with others.
What I've asked for, the last couple years with job opportunities, was connection, movement, and expression. Although I love the classes and sessions I do online, having connection in the community where I live has been the big draw. It's been almost a year since I went back to an outside job and I always feel so blessed at the end of the day to meet so many neat, interesting and wonderful people - it really makes my day! Just one exchange of a wave and smile can brighten your day. That's how powerful you are! Just a wave and smile can make a difference in someone's life who is struggling.
The key to enjoying work and busy life in a new way, from a state of presence and flow rather than mental planning, has been exactly the same as enjoying my years of working from home. Breathe & Feel, don't think!
Many, many times through the busy day I notice the mind attempting to go back and analyze a situation, or jump ahead to what's next. Maybe it's 100 times per day? I take a breath and feel my presence & feel the breath flow. I just feel and become aware of everything within and around me... seeing the beauty especially. I often laugh that my messages seems a bit boring and repetitive, but it works. Breathe & Feel, don't think. Do this again and again and again. Welcome your Creator Self, that essence to embody & take the wheel.
Spend many moments in the space of your presence until it opens so wide, the knowing and flowing comes with greater and greater ease which is undeniable. You simply can't go back to the old way of living - it's tedious and unappealing. The mind can be an endless busybody if you let it. When you're thinking, unless you're very aware, you're not feeling you. You're not feeling connected to all of life, all of creation, and all the information that's always coming to you, guiding and steering you.
When you become accustomed to remaining in presence (except when thinking is beneficial and useful), It feels like you have the secret trick to an easy and graceful life - the mind sometimes a it confused or concerned "shouldn't we be working harder?". You have the key to ease, grace, joy, health, lightness, smiles, and more. That presence realigns your world to support you, so you can sit back and let things fall apart or fall into place with ease. No micromanaging needed, just feel, breathe, listen and flow.
I wake up each day and choose. I ask ~ "How much more love can I bring through my body/mind/world? How much more can I embody, feel, express and be the love that I am? Best day ever, let's gooo!!!" Love = pure consciousness, love = light, love = your eternal beingness. It's all the same. You being connected to, and living as, who you truly are.
And the best part? There are no mistakes. Without judgment and analysis, you just let yourself live and express and be and create and enjoy. And on & on.
Breathe & Feel, don't think!
Do all things with Love. Namaste ♥️✨
