You
are kinetic. You are successful because
you do, you act, you decide.
How do you stop the forward energy long enough to reflect on the choices you are making?
A shift to mindful simplicity can be likened to putting a small rudder on a large ship. A massive ship is turned
more easily by placing a smaller rudder on a larger one. Mindful simplicity puts your focus where you have greatest
leverage. The smallest changes enable the largest shifts over time. With a minimal effort, you can make a qualitative
shift towards a balanced and whole life.
Taking a simple pause for
reflection is one way to begin.
Reflection is an individual matter. There is no one way to direct ourselves to the state
of physical and mental calm necessary for reflection. But there are hundreds of thousands of experiences which
can promote and produce calmness. Some may take only a few seconds, others are longer. The activities in this site
are possible strategies for you to try.
Give yourself a few minutes each day, a few hours each week, a few days or weeks each year... for a purposeful
pause...
Try the activities
in the following sections:
sense,
recreate, relax, and center
...meaningful activity
is essential to happiness and longevity.
