Is your heart in what you do each day? Do you actively seek joy, connection, and communion with the beauty of the Earth? Are you able to move slowly, letting go of meaningless tasks and letting your senses lead you to an awareness of what is real and true in your surroundings? Caregiving is a place where it is more important than ever to initiate a foundation in the present moment, based only on those things that bind you to real living; to a life that gives some meaning to what you believe. We are fashioned after a creator and are made to create. Don’t shortchange your spiritual needs, your inner self of worth, or expressing your feelings in some new creative way. Stop and let your mind and soul connect. Give up trying to control anything. Have you heard the phrase “Man plans and God laughs?” Take a moment today and begin a new journey. Stop making plans and start following what moves your spirit. Play an instrument, walk and meditate, read a book, sit and look at the spring flowers, listen to a podcast that is uplifting or just listen to music that touches you deeply.
