I wish more people knew.......

I suppose part of my motivation and passion continues to come from the practices in my life that are watering me.....and not wanting to keep it to myself......but it is difficult to really impart that to another person, until they are ready to receive it.....but I cannot really say enough how much I feel meditation has helped me in my life as I have hunkered down into the practice.....it feeds me similarly to exercise......which by the way I have new things going on there too:) But learning to STILL my mind, on command now......and have a single focus has translated into more calm everywhere else too......I had written about my severe allergic reaction after Thanksgiving, life threatening truly.....and driving myself to the hospital......in anaphylaxis, and remained calm.....driving 90 mph but calm;-) and that was meditation in motion......in action......absolutely how it shows up in life, not while you are doing it....and the other day I had another emergency of sorts.....I have an air fryer and I LOVE it.....I was pretty late to that party too, but so glad I got there;-)......and the non stick coating was starting to lift some and I didn't love the idea of us eating that, yikes! So somebody at work said they use parchment paper in theirs.....so I bought some.....the kind you can put in the oven.....but I guess I wasn't thinking fully because I put it in, while I was heating it up.....yeah.....I know......duh......and so all of a sudden it sounded as if my air fryer was about to take off like a plane on a runway.....and I opened it, and it was on fire......and I didn't panic......just brought it over to the sink.......the bin, ran the water and put it out......and my daughter was super impressed lol:) That I was so calm lol.....but that has most definitely not always been the case......I have been in a panic many times in my life.....not great in emergencies....and letting a frantic mind takeover.....and you cannot make decisions that way.....not ones that matter in the moment anyway......so learning to quiet my mind so completely has paid off in so many ways....the gift that keeps giving:) So I guess I wish more people knew......deciding to take the time to quiet their minds.....BE still, if you will......and it will change the game......my mind has been restless the last two nights.....currently under the weight of a septic emergency....potentially costly....it started off looking one way, and shifted, and I am hopeful it will all work out, because my core belief is that everything is always working out FOR me.....faith over fear in any given moment.....even in the moments that don't look that way.....so I am breathing.....and trusting.....going into this week back in my disciplined flow......despite being off this week it was a busy week! Going to go hard at my workout today, and about to calm my mind and meditate it out! :) And back to work! Have an awesome Monday! :) And if you feel called to give meditation a shot, I would go for it! It takes time, don't give up, just give it time to take hold, I promise that effort is worth it:) xoxo
