LIFE IS MOVEMENT...

Time for reflection


When life rushes away and when we get into our daily routines and habits, good or bad, we can easily lose ourselves and just move and work like machines.
 
In my life, there is alot of things going on and has happend during the first chapter of this year. I have moved countries, I have realized what my life dream really is, I have fallen deeper in love than ever before. Even if the road to where I am today has been hard and bumpy I am on my way to where I want to be. And when you see things open up and opportunities come your way all the hurt, the sadness, the guilt, the confusion is all worth it.

I do believe that when we reflect on the past and on what actions we have made and on what has happend around us thats when we learn and thats when we grow to become bigger and better humans.

My "Time for reflection" is often spent in a simple lotus position (on the picture). Just cross your legs, straighten your back and take deep long breaths. Find a place where you can feel calmness and that you can be there alone and where no one will bugger you. Just let your thoughts take you where they want to take you and try to not judge.
Think of the past, of things that hurt you and of things that made you happy.
And maybe the most important of all things, let go, forgive and move on.
You can only reflect on the past, not change it, so let the past go and move on to new experiences.

This is a wonderful way to do something for yourself!
Have a wonderful spring! :)
