I absolutely love the ‘new’ color green outside rather than the old
snow white, its such an amazing change of pace and perspective. It opens such a whole new world in my heart. This view today comes to you by my 5 minute meditation.
Knowing I needed to continue to stay relaxed and peaceful during this new busy spring/ summer/ fall season I decided to add a new habit to my daily routine. Now you need to know that my days are never in routine… but I have been working hard to do a few specific things each day. The newest being my 5 minute meditations.
Because, most days, its gorgeous outside now I go outside and just sit. I set my timer on my phone for 5 minutes and I just sit. I clear my mind as much as I can and I just breath. Breathe In and Out, In and Out!
I’m not going to lie, this was not easy when I started . I constantly peaked at the timer, but as I go its getting easier and easier! I may continue to add time to my meditation moments as I grow, but for right now this is perfect for me to just take a moment each day and clear my mind, clear my emotions and just feel what my body is telling me. It takes me out of my thoughts and back to the present moment. It gives me time to find my inspiration, and a peaceful moment to connect to my spirit.
Horses also love this! They are always grounded and connected with life. They are also looking for a connected, grounded person to be their leader. Would you want to follow a crazy, emotionally scattered out person? I know that’s not who I look to for my leadership. So these moments daily help me to connect to nature, to my animals and mostly back to myself.
If you get a moment give this new skill a try! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. It takes about 21 days to build a new habit so for the next 21 days just sit in peace for a few moments a day and feel yourself connecting back to who you truly are. Let me know how this goes for you and what new inspiration you receive! It has put my whole life on fast forward and my EQUINE EMPOWERMENT program feels like its getting developed over night!
But now I am out… because I have a horse outside of my office window calling my name and its a gorgeous day to get out and play. Enjoy your day and don’t forget to connect with me on facebook and twitter!
