Slow down and silence the noise!

I just noticed that it’s been a while since I wrote my last blog post, so I asked myself why!

I mean…

  • My blog IS about gratitude!

As a matter of fact…

  • it’s about feeling blessed and finding joy in the little things too!

So I had to ask myself…

  • Does the fact that I haven’t written a ‘piece’ in a while imply that I no longer feel grateful and blessed?
  • Or does it imply that I don’t appreciate the little things anymore?

And you know what I realized?

That the answer is…

  • absolutely not’!!!

The fact that I haven’t written in a while has nothing to do with any of those things, BUT, it IS a warning!

  • It is my body and my soul’s way of communicating to me, that I need to slow down and ‘recalibrate’.
  • It is my ‘inner person’, ‘my being’, trying to tell me that it’s way too noisy ‘in here’.

Basically, I recognize that I’ve been moving so fast under the guise of ‘busy-ness’, that I can’t ‘hear’ myself, over myself!

My head has been trying to tell me…

  • “Slow down and silence the noise! I can’t think straight because I’m out of touch with your emotions!”

And my heart has been trying to tell me…

  • “Slow down and silence the noise! There’s too much feedback so I can’t ‘feel’ all the beautiful things that surround you, that I want to feel… because there’s too much stuff in here. It’s too darn ‘noisy!'”

As a matter of fact, my entire being has been screaming…

  • “Slow down and silence the noise!!!”

But I couldn’t hear it… or maybe I didn’t want to???

Anyway today, I slowed down…

  • I slowed down long enough to write this post.
  • And I slowed down long enough to remember how beautiful ‘calm’ feels.

And with any luck…

  • I’ve slowed down long enough to remind you to slow down too;
  • and hopefully, find joy in one LITTLE THING today!
