Accept what is happening right now

“When we stop trying to force pleasant feelings, they are freer to emerge on their own. When we stop trying to resist unpleasant feelings, we may find that they can drift away by themselves . When we stop trying to make something happen, a whole world of fresh and unanticipated experiences may become accessible to us.”
Mark Williams

Listen to your thinking....

I would challenge you to listen to your thoughts.  I do this regularly.  I go out in the morning to feed my stray cat and sit for a moment.....

It's tough to even remember all the thoughts I have.  I listen and acknowledge.
Today I was thinking about work stuff, about what will happen in a few years....what will happen in a week...what will happen in a few moments.   It's very interesting when you actually listen.

I don't really want or need to know what will happen in 3 hours or a week.  When I notice I'm thinking....I simply tell myself this....and then take a few breaths.  Then I realize how lucky I am to have all that I do.  And even when I'm feeling really down, I always know that I can pause, take a breath, and just be.

I am very lucky to have found mindfulness.
Love to be in the moment.  It has saved me from being caught up in thoughts and worries.  I choose peace.
