I'll be doubling up on the posts today as some technical difficulties made yesterday's posting not possible.
Yesterday I decided I am grateful for the moments life makes me slow down.
I frequently find myself over-scheduled and dreading my to-do list, and in this situation, the last thing I want is to get stuck waiting somewhere longer than I have to... but I have come to realize that these are the moments that I am to take as a little extra me time. If I'm in my car stuck in traffic, at a light, or behind a train, I pump the radio a little louder and dance in my seat. Or turn off the radio and just breathe. If I'm in a waiting room of whatever sorts, I help myself to the free coffee and chill. When my gut reaction is to freak out and stress over whatever it is I'm not getting done, I take the time to remind myself that this is a moment for me. And for this I am grateful: the moments life makes me slow down and for the perspective to see these moments for what they are.
Best,
Arielle
