Allowing Yourself to Simply Be in the Moment

by Stacey / The Mom Renewal Project on October 7, 2009 · 10 comments

Life is busy.

Life is crazy.

But still, if you look closely, there is time to find a moment to simply be in the moment.

Sometimes it’s only 5 minutes. Sometimes it’s only 1 minute. Sometimes you have to hide in the bathroom. Sometimes you are fortunate enough to find it in the garden or somewhere in nature. Sometimes it’s in meditation. Sometimes it’s laughing with your children.

Can you find time today to simple BE in the moment?

5 Tiffany October 8, 2009 at 4:23 pm: This is definitely a problem area of mine. I’m always multitasking…I’m Queen of slacking and being lazy, but I’m still always doing SOMEthing. I really need to work on stopping and settling myself and just being present.
6 Stacey / Create a Balance October 10, 2009 at 11:15 pm: Hayden – Thank is exactly the moment I’d like to be in too!

Tanna – I was hiding in my bathroom this morning taking in 5 minutes of me time before starting my day.

Tiffany – Acknowledging what you want to focus on is a great first step. Cheers to you Tiffany for being in the moment long enough to be thinking about these important life balance/self renewal issues.

7 Mermaid October 11, 2009 at 7:54 pm: You are so right. The amount of time is not as important as the intention and the attempt to create some space daily.
8 Sam October 12, 2009 at 1:39 pm: Living and being in the moment is a meditation principle. Stress can come from thinking about unpleasant chores ahead, or times in the past you wish would have lasted longer. But if we can just “be” and live in the moment, then all is good.
