Remembering the Little Things!

My last post was about the NOW.  (well mostly writing by Kyle Shewfelt so check out his blog by clicking on his name)  I could not have put it better then Kyle did just about paying attention to your life and activities and the beautiful world around you.  Do not get caught up in the day to day hustle and bustle and miss living your life.  Here is a couple ideas that i use for myself so i remember to take a moment throughout the day to be in the NOW and put a smile on my face. 

Those little things during that day that just put a smile on your face.  You know what they are. 

Some of my favourite things to put a smile on my face and keep me going on a great day or just give me permission to take a breathe when things are not going well. 

Classical Music, especially on CBC radio 2 Tempo hosted by Julie Nezzerahl.  It is a great way to reset the TEMPO of the day.  TEMPO is on the radio from 9 – 1 Monday – Friday during the week.  I listen to it as much as possible.  It give me a moment of focus while i am listening

My dogs and cat. They live in the moment in the NOW, so if also make sense that use as pack leaders and parents of our kids do the same.  They are so care free because in that moment they are just as is.  They are not worrying about what to do next or what time it is or how much this or that costs. 

A cup of tea is always a good time.    My Nana is very British and she taught me that tea time is an event.  You bring out the nice cup and saucer and sit down and drink by yourself or with friends and family.  But everything else really comes to a pause around while you are having tea. 

A new one for me and very similar to tea is a Phil and Sebastian's Dulce coffee.  It is AMAZING!  i feel that every time i take a drink time stops.  Starbucks does that too. 

Being outside on a hot day.  I just love it.  Love the heat the smell not sure how else to explain it. Just being out in nature enjoying the sun puts in you in the moment and just enjoying what is going on around you. 

Those are some of the things during my day that keeps me in the NOW. 

Those are a couple of mine… Tell me some of yours.
