Pay Vigilant Attention To Yourself...You Deserve It
Written by Ellen Besso - Coach for women navigating the midlife maze
Most of us want to be happy. We want a life we can feel excited about on an ongoing basis. We want to manifest our dreams and become our true selves. In order to live the life we were meant to live, we need to “get in the flow” and stay in it as much as we can.
This requires that we pay vigilant attention to ourselves and our actions. A simple check-in with ourselves at intervals of 15-30 minutes, then a re-setting of our trajectory can keep us on track.
Just take a deep breath in, then out, and ask yourself: “What do I need right now, this minute?” You’ll be surprised how quickly the answer will come. Honour it by responding to what your body-mind- spirit is asking for.
You may find you need to do something like the following:nn * Replenish yourself with water and/or a snacknn * Take a few moments to do some deep breathing or meditationnn * Walk around the blocknn * Say ‘No’ to excessive demandsnn * Switch to another tasknn * Deal with negative self-talk or negative emotions (talk to a friend, sponsor, coach, put it in an imaginary container)
It’s all about balance. Tune into yourself body, mind and spirit and keep paying vigilant attention and you’ll notice you’re “in the flow” more and more.
