Things You love.
It all begins with an idea and takes practice
Cliche and Cringe is the best way to describe the feeling you get when talking with someone about your spiritual awakening, especially to someone who hasn’t had one. To them, I sound crazy, I know. haha!
I have spent the last 5 years deep diving into researching literally any and everything my little heart desires. Anything from Cars, to world history, religion, medicine, politics, just whatever comes to my mind. Mindfulness and being present has been at the forefront of the research, listening to gurus, reading works of different philosophers, podcasts, all the things. One day, I decided to create a list in my notes on my phone of things I love. Not your standard
God
My family
My friends
list. That's obvious, and while those are always on the list. I was thinking a little deeper. Sort of a “stop and smell the roses” type love list.
when the stop light is out and everyone knows what to do at the 4-way stop
The way the clouds casts shadows over the rolling hills on a drive through the mountains
When the scissors start to glade just right as you’re cutting wrapping paper
When the speed racer dramatically passes you on the road only to end up right next to you at the same red light.
This is just the beginning, having it on my phone in my notes app makes it accessible and easy to add things when you think of them or when something happens and you say to yourself, “ I love that shit”. I refer to it often when I am feeling down or stressed out. It helps bring me back to a happy peaceful mind space and slow down.
I challenge you to start a list, a Happy shit your soul loves list!
