#MindfulMonday – Love Continues
Closing out this month’s focus on LOVE.
As we all know, love goes on all year long and I think this year is an especially opportune time to keep the focus on LOVE all year long. Keeping
love / care / kindness for others as well as love for you in your daily life throughout this year will bring you more rewards than you anticipate…I’m pretty sure.
It really isn’t that hard to do, but sometimes it just slips our mind as we get so focused on our jobs and families. Perhaps putting a reminder on your calendar once a day or at least several times a week that says, “what did you do for you today?” “have you been kind today?” Or even better, put a note on your dashboard or in one of the drawers you use every day and even move it around so that you don’t get complacent about seeing it then ignoring it.
Over the last several months we’ve seen a large increase of hate crimes and bullying to extremes, we need to bring a calmer presence to our world and it begins with each one of us. Let’s be responsible for ourselves and at least just be kind, even to those with whom you disagree – yes, it can be a challenge, but if we step back, take a deep breath and then look at the situation from a different perspective if you can – I find that helps me. And really, how important will it be in a year’s time or even next week for that matter?
