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!
