Stopping the mad rush of our lives is a powerful way to take care of ourselves. We do this in the moment. This moment. It may seem silly to take this advice, but it will be your salvation. Stop right now and breathe deeply.
I watched my daughter struggle with numbers today. She can count but doesn't have the connection to the visual number yet. She became so frustrated and she wanted to give up. I showed her how it is normal to become impatient with ourselves when we do not see results as soon as we'd like. It is still important to keep going, though, isn't it?
It is very easy to bring our attention as fully as we can to this moment, especially when we are met with frustrating circumstances. It is then getting ourselves into the habit of doing this regularly. We can let the impatience or the joy be our sign post to get us to bring our full attention to the moment. This is supported by a regular daily practice of meditaion. I emplor you to keep going. Perseverance is a choice. Make it.
