“Life is so full of care….
There is no time to stand and stare”
Yes
we are all busy and in a hurry. We have worries about our past, plans and
expectations for the future. But may be somewhere in this process, we forget to
actually live in the moment.
Life
is all about living :P. Yes, this phrase is very true if we really mean it. If
we are mindful about every little thing we do, then we can enjoy the life to
the fullest. Many of us wait for the weekends or vacation time to relax
and enjoy. But by being mindful, we can even enjoy the boring things that
cannot be avoided in our day-to-day life.
We wake up
every morning with hundreds of thoughts in mind; reaching the office on time,
giving the best for the presentation, last day to pay the bills etc., and all
this thinking happens while getting ready, having coffee, going through the
news and having a quick breakfast.
Actually, planning for the day is a good thing. But losing the moment is
not necessary.
Enjoy your
coffee fully…take in the swaad of that aloo parata fully :D…listen to your
favourite songs in the traffic to boost up your morning. All this may sound
simple but trust me…these small things make your routine lively and interesting.
It’s not just
about the chores, but also about different experiences. When you are at work,
being mindful makes you more productive. When you are with your family or
friends, being there fully gives a lot of joy. Doing things with a whole presence
of mind, body and soul brings completeness and boosts your happiness. Life is a
mixture of both ups and downs. Experience both of them fully. Because one day,
when we look back, we will have many things to cherish.
So all that we
have is the PRESENT MOMENT... Mindfulness is the secret of happiness. :)
