BE STILL & SHINE LIKE THE SUN

"In uneventful times, The mind is easily distracted. Then you should make yourself still and let your true nature shine.

When things are happening all around you,

The mind is easily scattered, Then you should make your true nature shine and allow your center to become still."

Hung Ying-ming
Master of the Three Ways: Reflections of a Chinese Sage on Living a Satisfying Life

Beyond boredom is a state of calm, a sanctuary of inner peace, wisdom & deep rest.

Underneath the noise of stress, reactivity & busyness is a sanctuary of calm from which your best self can shine.

To avoid being controlled by boredom & busyness and become, instead, purposeful, productive, peaceful and present simply takes practice.

TRY THIS

Each morning take 3 - 30 minutes to connect with your body, mind & soul and set some clear intentions for the day (for a short video on how to do this click here).

Throughout the day slow down enough (particularly if you feel yourself stressed or rushing) to ask yourself these questions.

What is an ideal outcome I’m working toward in this moment?
What am I thinking?
What am I feeling (emotionally)?
What am I feeling in my body (physical sensations)?

Having checked in with my inner world is there a more ideal outcome available?
What’s the best next step to take?
