As you know, I am a nurse practitioner and health coach.
While recently beginning coaching with someone we started to go through all the goals that were important. As usual they were smart goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely)
But then, I realized that for now the best goal – or ungoal – was to stop! Do nothing – take 15 minutes to sit alone – no goals, no thoughts, just sit.
How do you do this?
Maybe sit in your car, sit outside your house (if safe) and do nothing for 15 min. Maybe, take the time before dropping the kids off to school, if they are going, or take 15 min at the beginning of the day or the end of the day.
The goals and to do list will come later as you have the space to breath. Maybe this will be an end in itself. If you want to begin meditation you can use tools like Headspace (headspace.com) or Calm (calm.com) to help; but don’t use this as another way to judge yourself or create a deadline.
Just Sit, Just Breathe. Create space for yourself
As I post in this blog, I would like to share things in my life that have made things easier, given me space to breath and time. They will center around health, wellness, diet, exercise, aging gracefully and the balance we all crave for ourselves, our families, our homes and the pets we share our lives with.
So, for Now – JUST SIT – JUST B R E A T H E
