So we are 2 weeks into 2008 and I promised to post my intentions for the new year after considering the question, What will make my life feel more like recess this year? Instead of a list of to do's that I will lose and find in the year 2020, I came up with a sort of affirmation/meditaion that I can easily print and look at every morning. It helps that I already have a morning routine where I journal and read from a daily mediation book. Since I can use my own mediation as a book mark, I can be sure I see it every morning. So here it is.
I am embracing who I am
I am being in the moment
I am creating, playing, singing and dancing
I am humor, laughter and lightness
I am in love with my world
I am grateful
It makes me smile just to think of it. I almost feel guilty when I look back and see the other list I created. You know - the one that says I'm going to clear all of the clutter, exercise regularly, lose 15 pounds, home cook all of my meals, read a book a week and make my own clothes. :) That is the list I usually create. This meditation is the life I want to live. I'll let you know how I do.
