Building on your committment

"shhhhhhhh"

What happens...when things go quiet?

Do you generate more ideas? Or do you quickly move on to something to fill the "void?"

Daily meditation offers a wonderful way to start each day. But, let's be real...most of you reading this are already too busy to build in meditation to your day. Think about it, have you ever felt you were "behind" even before you'd had breakfast?

Instead of thinking you have to do this "all-or-nothing," consider experimenting with a process you can imagine....yes, on that you can image-in.

Instead of thinking meditation is something "they" do, consider it something you're already doing. Call it thought, consideration, deliberation, contemplation, or reflection. Then, find a way to begin winning - starting right now.

Here is an idea:

On top of a blank piece of paper, write the words: Recent Accomplishments and Completions.

Look at your clock (watch) and for 120 seconds write as fast as you can. Create an inventory of your recent accomplishments, personal and professional. Capture anything you consider to be "done."

If you do this, really, you will experience what it's like to "be in the moment." If you want to build on your commitments, doing more and feeling great about that, consider these 2 other 2-minutes "meditations."

Title one piece of paper: "People and things I'm grateful for"
Just like before, let your pens fly across the page as you write as fast as possible for 120 full seconds.

Title another piece of paper: "Things I'd like to accomplish in my own lifetime."

This kind of reflection AND capturing activity can act as a re-centering process. Stressed? Write some things down. Bored? Pull out a pen and piece of paper. Running behind on a project? Try it out, and see if it might work for you!
