Life happens in ordinary moments. Yes, sometimes miracles and exciting moments do happen. But the ordinary is when life’s magic truly appears.
In beauty of ordinary moments, there is space for quiet and stillness. This could be challenge because I often try to get more and more done and end up overwhelmed and exhaused. The quiet, stillness and peace enables true mindfullness, resilience and rest and relaxation.
Again, this is not easy. It makes me feel a little uncomfortable. It may be messy. It means getting comfortable feeling uncomfortable. How to do that?
One small practice that helps during these moments? Instead of trying to get rid of the discomfort, I gently make room for it. Know it is ordinary. It’s beautiful. After all, it’s truly part of day-to-day life.
However, I try not to force it. It’s not about“fixing” how I feel. It’s about releasing a firm grip on it and resisting – and instead, just being. Being me and be proud of it. It’s beautiful to live in the ordinary.
I just need to remind myself every day.
