It’s nearing the end of September yet I feel like I was just celebrating my August birthday. I’m forever amazed at how quickly time can pass by yet we have moments when the world feels like its standing still. Like nothing else matters aside from this moment. Life stops.
I live for the moments in life when the world stops. When I’m so caught up in that present moment, that truly nothing else matters. It’s called being present because it’s truly a gift.
I use to let life move by, checking off the boxes, making the moves, doing the things but I avoided a lot. A lottttttt- including myself & what I truly needed.
Fun fact: I was the girl who’d skip savasana everytime. I haaaaated being in stillness with myself. I’d prefer to disassociate.
My practice taught me to sit with it. To learn from it. Taught me to be present, to show up for myself, and take what I needed when I need to recharge and to listen.
We can’t appreciate the “life standing still moments” unless we are full in our being. When we’ve taken the time to be with ourselves, when we aren’t longing for something else, fully present with ourselves even if that means a little discomfort.
When I find myself in the moments when life is flying by, when my mind is pinging from this to that, when I’m not being fully present with others or myself- I know it’s time for myself. To just be with myself.
A little reminder to me, and maybe for you.
Happy Sunday 🤗
