Sleep and present moment awareness go a long way toward making sure we focus on what matters most to us.
When I am well-rested, I am happy, enthusiastic, upbeat, positive, and at peace. I exude joy!
I slept LATE
(Til half past nine)
It felt GREAT
Sleep is divine!
In the flow of life, I remember to eat right, remain mindful, and get daily exercise.
Expanding my happiness still further.
I enjoy life, relax, and overflow with vitality and gratitude . . . and all that positivity spills out on those around me.
When I am well-rested, I remain awake and aware. I avoid getting thrown off kilter by the every pothole in the path:
“A stable mind is like the hub of a wheel. The world may spin around you, but the mind is steady.”
~ Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja (BKS) Iyengar
In contrast, when I’m overtired and forget to stay in the NOW, I’m cranky and irritable and the toxic sludge of negativity keeps me from “going with the flow.”
Things slip through the cracks until, exhausted from struggling against the current, I go back to Step One and get some sleep.
Aah Morpheus . . .that’s better!
