Your weekly mindful nudge 😉
So how are you today - really?
That's how I like to catch up with my friends, and myself, as often as I can.
There are good times to pose such an introspective question - birthdays, last days of the year, anniversaries, beginnings and endings, tax returns... 😉 That doesn't quite cut it though, does it?
On busiest of days I take the time and space to check on myself while I make a simple dinner. As I stir, spread or toss something mechanically, it's not absent-minded at all - the simple, calm, repetitive activity allows me to turn inwards and feel how my body is right now, what I'm feeling, what the circles of thoughts in my head are actually saying...
Activities like pruning the garden (it's about time), hoovering, washing dishes, cleaning surfaces, dusting, sorting clothes - all these and many more will work. Create some moments inbetween for yourself and set out on a little quest inward 😌
Let the message you hear in this video be my little mindful nudge to you 🪄
Here it goes:
"My one rule in work life: Enjoy what you do. We spend so many hours of so many days, weeks, months, years at work – it better make sense, have purpose and be worth the time, energy and our investment of self. Whatever you’re doing – are you really truly and fully in the moment? How does this world of yours that you’ve created around you, measure against the energy you send in each day? Are your ingredients just right? Do you love the flavours? The colours, textures, is this recipe you’re working on so earnestly, taking you somewhere delicious? Or could it use a tweak?“
