Good morning,
Dear one.
Mornings are magical because they provide us with the opportunity to begin anew.
On this brand new day,
We can choose to experience more ease and flow.
If we choose to trust in divine timing,
We no longer have to force anything to happen.
Trusting that everything in life happens at exactly the right moment frees us from striving and forcing things to happen when the time is not right yet.
Allow me to illustrate by using the breath.
Take a deep breath in,
Try to expand your lungs and belly as much as possible,
And then force your breath out.
A big forceful breath such as this may feel good if you do it once,
But just imagine what it would feel like if you had to breathe like this all the time.
Imagine how exhausting it would become to your mind and body.
Now allow yourself to relax and spend a few moments just gently observing your natural breath.
Pay particular attention to how your breath flows effortlessly in and out of your body.
As you observe your breath,
Your attention is focused on each moment as it unfolds for you.
The breath is a powerful tool to ground us in the present moment.
Being present helps us to experience every moment with more ease as we flow from moment to moment instead of striving and forcing our way to some future goal that we may be chasing.
Becoming present can help us to save a lot of energy and prevent us from living in the future.
Instead of chasing and striving,
We can live in the present moment and enjoy each exquisite moment exactly as it unfolds.
Right now there is no need to rush and no way to rush to.
For the next few moments,
Consider what it would be like to take this attitude of effortlessness into the rest of your day.
What would happen if you trusted that everything happens at exactly the right time?
What would happen if you didn't have to force anything?
What would happen if throughout your day you only did what was yours to do in the moment?
The present moment is all that we have.
If you allow yourself more ease,
You can allow yourself to thoroughly enjoy the things that are showing up for you in each moment.
May the rest of your day be blessed and filled with the magic that you have created for yourself this morning.
