Take a few minutes to just be. Give yourself a few minutes, first in the morning, to clear your mind and think of absolutely nothing. Do you count down from 10 to 1 as previously posted in the second day of Christmas (see below) and tune into the silence and peace a clear mind provides.
I challenge you to give yourself these moments for yourself. Even five minutes, if you can, of a totally empty clear mind. Can you do it? Or do a thousand thoughts cross your mind while you are attempting the exercise?
This time of year, we are so busy, writing the cards, fighting the traffic to get to the mall or the store. Possibly fighting with relatives trying to coordinate the holidays (I'm Italian, so you might imagine this!) ... but if you can take a few minutes at the outset of the day in your sanctuary to clear your mind for those few precious moments.
Then when the craziness creeps back up in your life you can go back to initial state of peace you felt and recall it into the current moment.
Give it a try!
