Slow down....you're moving too fast.......

Don't sweat the small stuff.....how many times have I heard some one say that? And how many times were they wrong!
For me it's all about sweating the small stuff,paying attention to the little details. In fact when all of the little things are taken care of,I find that the bigger things are not quite as daunting,the "sweating" part seems to go away.
The devils  is in fact in the details.
Doing the little things consistently breeds success. How often must I remind myself of this:

• Eat healthy!
• Drink enough water!
• Get to bed at a reasonable hour!
• Read rather than watch t.v!
• Pick up my dirty laundry!
• Clean up after myself!
• Put away the dishes!
• Go to the gym!
• Move regularly!
• Smile!

Paying attention to the little things makes me a better person.

A clean desk.

Dressing neatly.

Being well groomed.

Smiling.

Even breathing.....yes I said breathing. Every now and again, when I am sitting quietly,I find it helpful to remind myself to take a deep breath,fill my lungs to capacity and then slowly let the air flow out.It clears my mind and invigorates my body.

I have no idea why this feels so important to me today. It may be that I am in a space today where I have allowed myself to appreciate these little things. The why does not matter right now. Being engaged with this is what is resonating with me.

Autumn is in full blossom here today.The colors on the trees are changing. The air is crisp and cool . The bright sunshine promises an absolutely glorious day ahead.

It would be hard for me to not appreciate all of the details on a day like today.

Admittedly, there have been way too many times when I have.

Thankfully, I know better than to do that today!

Shabbat Shalom!
