Today's Index4Index Daily Inspired Motivation is about keeping calm while in the midst of hectic days, an essential skill with so many calls for our attention at every turn. It's so easy to feel overwhelmed and distressed with all of the various important things that we often need to fit into seemingly small amounts of time. Remaining calm in the middle of the storm is something that we can all learn to do, and which will add immeasurably to the easeful flow with our tasks.
"There are moments in life where it gets so hectic that time becomes a blur. Keep calm and never give up."
- John Cena
This quote is a rather pertinent one this morning as I type this, as I've been feeling quite overwhelmed with all of the many things that I need to get done within specific periods of time, both in my jungle commuity and on Hive. I know that I'm very capable of getting everything done, and that all I need to do is close my eyes, breathe, and sink into this NowHere moment, coming into presence with what is before me.
Not biting off more than we can chew because we want to help someone. For those that have deep care for people, and who want to assist others as much as they're able, this can indeed be a challenge; 'over booking' ourselves is so easy. Learning to set boundaries for our own wellbeing is a big one here, that helps give space to our time. So is honoring ourselves and choosing to do what actually excites us.
Everything in its time. Breathe. Find stillness in the storm. I believe in you, and I believe in me! Let's do this!
Remember, dear friends, that we are all in this together, that we rise by lifting others, and that together we thrive, so onward and upward, joyfully together! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨
