It's one advantage to older, more time, fewer tasks . . . and more understanding of what is important. By necessity you have to give up some things, so the gift of time is a real blessing. I send a morning note out to friends and family, so I have to sit and look around, out my window, notice the light, notice the sky, birds, squirrels, the cats, it makes me slow down and take in the day. And I'm glad of the peace that small task brings me!Dilyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00681332188156558116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135916285632977024.post-79617341139730860952014-01-25T14:38:21.997-08:002014-01-25T14:38:21.997-08:00sometimes, journaling, writing it down, letting it...sometimes, journaling, writing it down, letting it out - works for me.Diana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135916285632977024.post-89729483448450154202014-01-20T09:41:11.498-08:002014-01-20T09:41:11.498-08:00A connection with Mother Nature really helps me.

Mindfulness, being in the moment--though it sounds trite, you'd be amazed how it changes perspective.<br /><br />"Go placidly amid the noise and haste..." <br /><br />And speaking of the "Desiderata"...<br /><br />I have it on my fridge. Every day I close my eyes and poke my finger on the sheet of paper, read the sentence, then try to incorporate it into my day.<br /><br />Whatever works, Angy.

A lot of the time I'm house bound so I watch the birds feeding in my garden and the rest takes place in my imagination...<br />I also find Simple alternating nostril breathing is also a wonderful practice to find deep stillness and to calm the mind... http://www.artofliving.org/yoga-breathing-techniques/alternate-nostril-breathing-nadi-shodhan<br /><br />Smiles Cass x Greenorchidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17429772996167532604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135916285632977024.post-34626591471494732102014-01-16T02:28:49.236-08:002014-01-16T02:28:49.236-08:00I really know what you mean Angy...I'm even tr...I really know what you mean Angy...I'm even trying to type quietly but unfortunately there's no calm or peace here this morning. <br />The builder arrived in the dark (pre-dawn) and set up lamps and lights and has been drilling and hammering ever since all whilst the radio is blasting out! <br />He's putting decking at the rear of the house which will be great so I'll have to suffer the chaos for now.<br />I hope you find the peace and calm you're looking for. It's certainly hard to find in these modern times...to switch off the madness for a wee while.<br />I wish you well and will now leave you in peace! ;D<br />Take care xoxoNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.com
