Lauren Card Live

Many times we look back on our day and ask the question, “where did my day go?” We get stuck on autopilot and forget to stop and smell the roses…literally!

When was the last time you actually stopped to observe a wonder of nature and really absorbed it? A spider building a web, a beautiful flower unfolding, the smell of the ocean, looking at the stars in the night sky, or feeling the warm sun on your face? Maybe you’ve been so busy you haven’t noticed anything at all.

I know this happens for me, and as of late more than care to admit. Taxes, resume, laundry, graphic work, grocery shopping, driving, phone calls… you get the idea. When we are in this mode are we really living or just existing? I know for myself, I feel more alive when I stop, take in what surrounds me and become aware of my senses. This connects me to the much bigger picture called life.

Today I am committed to stopping and just being, even if it’s only for a few moments. I will notice the difference of how I feel and the shifts inside.

Want to play along?
In gratitude,
L.
