Because of a head cold, I've spent a lot of time at home this week. It's not fun being under the weather, but this week has gifted me with a sense of being grounded again. Don't get me wrong! My life isn't usually crazy busy, but I can always find things to do. However, the days when I do very little are the days I get in touch with myself deeper. When I'm still, there is less chatter in my mind, more peace, contentment, even a little bliss...
Although it's easier to practice mindfulness when I'm sick, I am going to do my best to stay grounded when I feel well too. I love the feeling of being connected. Why do I resist something that works so well for me? Maybe I'm afraid I'm going to miss out on something and the world will pass me by.
