I had a busy day today. I worked from 3:30am - 10:30am, then off to brunch with friends, and then a birthday party for friends 3 year old twins. To be honest, I normally would have talked myself out of practicing yoga (day 12 of yoga journal's challenge) or doing anything else productive. However, if intentional actions are paramount in healing and each action or activity we take should have meaning, then the present moment is the place to start. That being said, I practiced yoga for 30 minutes and pulled another card from Louise Hay's deck, "Power Thought Cards." And, what card did I pull? "The point of power is always in the present moment." HA!
Like dreams, these cards can be personally interpreted to fit the individual. I'm reminded every moment counts, every moment means something, is the directional force of the next moment. I have the power to be present instead of absent from the moment. I hope that makes sense. :)
Hi Ellen,
ReplyDeleteThe value of the present cannot be replaced. For when it is gone, it is gone forever.
Yes, we cannot procrastinate!
Enjoyed reading your post.
Hi Ellen,
ReplyDeleteI never heard of those cards before. I think I need to try them. Although I did not have as hectic day as you. I felt stressed today. I felt the same way yesterday, but I did the relaxation tape and it really worked for me. the rason I am stressed is because I got home late Friday night from being away for work for three weeks. I only have this weekend before I leave for Memphis. I then only again have the weekend before I go overseas for four weeks. I know that my time will be busy when I am away from home and I am trying to get ahead with my homework. I think it is impossible and to make matters worse, I found out today that I have to read two larger manuals before I leave for these trips. I don't think this could come at a worse time for me. I skipped exercising today because I didn't want to waste time. Your post made me realize that it was probably the one thing that I should not have skipped doing. Thanks for the inspiration. I am going to remember to do it tomorrow.
