You don’t have to wait for the craziness of the day to set in before you count to 10 to calm down and be still. Cultivating stillness is one habit you want to create and keep dipping in to every day.
So for today, this Friday’s Focus, right now if you can, stop whatever you are doing, let the sounds around you fade, lower your shoulders, rest your hands on top of your legs, close your eyes, and
with
each
in and out breath,
count to yourself
1 / breath
2 / breath
3 / breath
4 / breath
5 / breath
6 / breath
7 / breath
8 / breath
9 / breath
10 / breath
Let all thoughts go past without holding on. Feel the stillness in your body and in your mind.
Begin to wiggle your fingers and toes, start to move your body around again, gently open your eyes and SMILE 🙂
Have a great weekend!
Keeping it light and singing LiLoLa [Live, Love, Laugh] all the way…

Oh I’m so glad!! I really believe in the amazing timing of things! Keep breathing!! It will all get done. ❤ 😀
I’ve found myself reading/talking to a lot of people about stillness recently. Must be that time of the year?
I love when that happens. I think it’s just that time period! Keep reading/talking about it!
Can i just say how this stuff really works! its amazing! looking forward to more posts from you! 🙂 x
It’s amazing isn’t it? I’m so glad you stopped by! It’s so nice to hear from you and to have you around! Thank you for your comment and for following! 😀
I love stillness in all its wonderful forms. Peace, nothing like peace especially after a long day.
It is like water for the soul. Sometimes, it can actually feel as a salve to my soul.
