One Thing ~ Trust30 ~ Prompt #15

It’s day 15 already! (where has the time gone?) in  #Trust30, an online initiative and 30-day writing challenge that encourages you to look within and trust yourself.

Here’s day 15 – I still  look forward to each new prompt – and what I’ll discover in this continuing inner exploration adventure!

Prompt #15

Do your work, and I shall know you. Do your work, and you shall reinforce yourself. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Take a moment, step back from your concerns, and focus on one thing: You have one life to achieve everything you’ve ever wanted. Sounds simple, but when you really focus on it, let it seep into your consciousness, you realize you only have about 100 years to get every single thing you’ve ever wanted to do. No second chances. This is your only shot. Suddenly, this means you should have started yesterday. No more waiting for permission or resources to start. Today is the day you make the rest of your life happen. Write down one thing you’ve always wanted to do and how you will achieve that goal. Don’t be afraid to be very specific in how you’ll achieve it: once you start achieving, your goals will get bigger and your capability to meet them will grow.

This is an easy one for me. Even though I don’t like to ‘strive’ to get ‘somewhere’, what I’ve been doing, and want to keep doing, is increasing my Life Awareness.

How will I do this? I’ll do it by mindfully being in the moment in everything I do. Whether I’m walking my dog, talking, watching tv, reading, sitting, eating, driving, bathing, practicing yoga, brushing my teeth, cooking etc., I always try to have a piece of my attention centered within my body.

And by noticing whenever I’m feeling bored or frustrated or overwhelmed. Just by noticing this, I’ll be Present once again. And I’ll also do this by bringing a sense of curiosity to Life….even when I’m feeling sad or angry or anxious….asking mySelf…...hmmm……so what’s going on within me that is causing me to feel this way or I wonder what message my body is trying to tell me right now.

When you have Awareness of life, you’ll realize you’ve already achieved the most significant task there ever is…….and all else is icing on the cake!
