Bring to mind the last time a day, or an afternoon, or even an hour got away from you because you were so caught up in, so in love with, or even just having so much fun with whatever you were doing that you lost track of time. Take a moment to scribble down what it was you were doing. It may be one singular activity, or it may be an entire detailed day’s worth.
These activities contain an element of something you love, something that brings you joy, a sense of alignment with your unique Truth, purpose, connection, and/or fulfillment in your life. When you meditate or pray you might invite more of those things that light you up into your life, or perhaps you ask for guidance in cultivating more time, space, and opportunity for them to play out. BUT if you do make such a request, first ask for help in opening to all the ways these elements already exist in your life.
When we do this we begin to notice and celebrate the presence these things already hold in our lives. We notice all the moments and ways our days are already graced with these activities which bring us such joy and satisfaction. As these moments are illuminated and our awareness of them and within them is heightened, no matter how small or brief, we can then be very intentional with them as they exist in the current schedule and framework of our lives right now.
“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” — Thornton Wilder
Cultivating a perception of abundance and feeling of gratitude is nothing short of life altering, instantly life altering.
