The focus for today's inspiration is:
I choose carefully where I apply my time and my attention.
In the practice of mindfulness, we are reminded to make each action consciously. To eat consciously, to walk consciously, to do everything from a very "present" state of mind.
Perhaps if we applied mindfulness to our life, we would not get caught up in so much busy-busy activities, but instead choose carefully where we apply our time and our attention.
Do we want to spend our 24 hours running around, constantly out of breath (figuratively or literally) because we have so much more to do? Or do we want to enjoy the moments those 24 hours bring us... After all, we don't know how many more hours we will have on this lovely planet.
