You think this year it’s going to be different.
But here you are back in the routine and wondering what’s happened.
Does it feel like the pressure is back on?
Maybe it never went?
Time to get out of your head and into flow
Whether it’s the kids back at school, the bills from Christmas arriving, being back at work, all with the constant scheduling, organising and juggling, or even the heat here in NZ, you may be wondering where all that excitement and enthusiasm for the year has gone.
Wondering how you can carve out some time for yourself, get your head clear, and energy high?
It can be easy to feel overwhelmed as the dreams and positivity on holiday seem to fade in direct relation to the length of the to-do lists and the hit of reality.
Don’t despair!
You can reconnect back to that inspiration and positivity of potential.
The first and very common contributor is the mind. Yes that pesky part of you (we call it the concrete mind) that likes to be in charge, think it has all the answers and loves to go round in circles. Your overthinking companion!
Here’s help – Try this grounding exercise
This exercise helps us centre and ground. It creates a little space and time out from those thoughts.
- Sit comfortably and close your eyes
- Put your attention on your feet
- Feel them on the floor, feel the carpet, floor, your shoes.
- Connect to the ground, to Mother Earth
- Now put your attention on your breath and follow it for 2 or 3 breaths in
- Connect in with your heart space
- Sit with this soft focus and awareness for a minute or two following your breath in an out
- When ready, come back to awareness, notice the sounds around you and your body in the chair.
- Open your eyes
