You are stuck in a rut… which rut is it? How do you figure it out?
Begin each day as if everything was new. When you wake up, look around you and pretend that all of this is new to you. What do you notice and why?
Be mindful as you get out of bed. Be mindful as you walk down to the kitchen. Be mindful as you prepare your drink and your breakfast.
Notice how the floor feels under your feet. Notice how it feels to use your hands when grabbing something. Really notice the intricacies of how well honed your human body is for your day today.
And then, notice how you normally live in auto pilo. You normally do not notice your walking, your grabbing, your visual observations, your appreciation for being alive. But today, you will be mindful, in all that you do from the beginning to the end, as much as possible.
When you live as though it is your first day or your last day here on earth, you have a visceral reaction to everything around you because the sense of appreciation and gratitude is almost overwhelming. Much like when you are on vacation or holiday. But when you are in the middle somewhere, the details get lost, and you forget what a gift it is to be alive, and you simply live on auto pilot to complete as much as you can that day with as little Interference or introspection as possible.
But the question that we have for you: is this really being alive when most of what you do is being done on auto pilot? And what are your options to bring yourself back into awareness and everything that you do, and every moment of life.
These are the queries that we wish to bring to mind today for you to consider what this means to you.
