Find Your Middle Ground

* A Health and Safety Announcement

fast and furious car~

Fast and furious
Full throttle to the next curve
Wait – do your brakes work?

The faster you go
Check your stop-ability
Before its too late

Its an investment
To slow down and simply stop.
Find your Middle Ground.

~

This pause is the place of refreshment, nourishment and renewal for mind body and spirit. Without it, we go through the habitual rushed motions of our day. Not only do we exhaust ourselves but we lose our ability to focus, be creative and generate fresh ideas.

As you launch into your week, take time to find your middle ground and connect with your true self.

This was a health and safety announcement from your higher Self.

    Thank you, Val. I’ve been going so fast and furious while bringing back some very ill cats to health, that now I am slowing down. We miss SO much when we fly through life!!! (((HUGS))) Amy ❤

    Resonates with an essay that I have just read about the connection between perfectionism and burn-out. An essay that I will be writing about on Wednesday.

    Thank you for the great reminder, Val. I have a busy day and week ahead of me, but I’ll be sure to stop and check my brakes periodically while I’m zooming around. 😉

    Thanks for the reminder to stop and breathe and get grounded today. Ran into a traffic jam returning to the city so may have to grab that time a little later. Have a great day!

    I so agree Val. When I’m able to slow my mind down it’s like drinking in cool, clear mountain water to sate my thirst. ❤

    I just spent three glorious days with two beloved family members at a charming lakeside cabin. Decompressing feels so wonderful.

    Yes! There is always this small pause that occurs, just before the action takes place. Inside that space we have the ability to focus and decide which way it’s going to go…
