5 Minutes Of My Day - I am here.

May 30, 2018

Racing through the day, moving from one stressful event immediately into the next with no awareness of self – my needs, the space that I am taking up, being totally focused on the people and tasks before me it was that at the end of the work day with both breakfast and lunch  half eaten on my desk, I race home just in time to travel with Paul to our yoga class.

At the studio I quickly gather yoga props, lay down and continue to race through the day right up until our instructor asks us to breath in “I am” and breath out “here.”

Breath in the beauty and amazing moments that were today.
Hold strong through the moments that were awful
Breath out into the present moment of your now.

I am here.

I am here

With these words I reclaim myself, begin to feel my body, relax into the wonder of the moment I am in.

I could not tell you what the sky was like as I entered the yoga studio and as I existed with the words “ I am” flowing through me as I breathed in and “here” as I exhale I am overwhelmed with the beauty of the sky above me and experience pure joy.
