Wow………the darkness is coming earlier and earlier. I can feel the “turning inward” energy. I have really been enjoying my early morning spiritual practice and I think that the season is part of the reason.
Staying open to the day…….really? When there are ‘to do lists’ and kids to run around and work and shopping and cooking and ……….staying open to the day.
How would that feel? What would that look like? We wake up and have a fixed idea of what the day will be with our work and responsibilities. But what if we would wake up with a curious mind instead of an organizing mind……….”I wonder what this day will bring? I choose to be open to what this day brings to me. I choose to be open to what shows up for me.”
Would that move us out of our fixed minds? Our routines? Staying open to the day.
It is just a thought. An intention. A shift of focus. It could bring a pause to a moment. In that pause you might see something in a new way. You might say “no” rather than “yes” or “yes” rather than “no”. Staying open. There is a spaciousness there. A sense of possibility. A sense of wonder. Grace could flow into that moment. A creative thought. A thought of connecting with someone.
I would invite you to try this out. See if it helps you stay open to the magic and synchronicity of life. We never truly know what a day will bring anyway! There is a flow in moving through your day this way. Things fall away, things fall in……….but we just stay open. No need for re-action or upset………..just staying open to the day.
Let me know your thoughts! Curl up with a good book……..it is the season. Blessings, melanie
