Heartful Moment?
So it seems as though I may have to change the title of my newsletter from "Mindful Moment" to "Heartful Moment". Let me explain.
When I use the term "Mindful", I use it to describe a sense of attentiveness and awareness about the present moment. Unfortunately, trying to get one's mind to say focused on the present moment is often like trying to get a little puppy to sit still in one place. As most of us know, the mind loves to race ahead to worry and obsess over an imagined future or to dwell on the past and hold us hostage with old thoughts, circumstances and beliefs.
Instead, if we tune into our hearts, we can get away from our thoughts and get in touch with our feelings - and that makes all the difference in our awareness!
As I watch my daughter (who will be nine months old soon) I realize that she lives entirely in the moment because all she focuses on is how she feels. Clean diaper = happy baby. Dirty or wet diaper = unhappy baby. She lives in the moment. Not because of her mind, but rather thanks to her feelings. If you don't believe me, I dare you to try explain to a teething baby that 3 a.m. is a bad time to be screaming!
Our hearts and our feelings really do hold the key to focusing on the present moment. But of course you knew that. What you might not know is that I'm not just referring to the heart as a metaphor. I'm speaking about the actual organ!
Next week I'll tell you more about the power of your heart. I'll also share the story of how I came to learn this information.
ENJOY NOW!
ENJOY NOW!
