It’s easy to get frantic when you’re busy, but stopping and acting with intention ultimately saves time and energy. Instead of rushing, pause and collect yourself.

Try this meditation for one minute every day, or longer if you want to:

I TAKE TIME to clear my mind. I emerge feeling refreshed, able to work with renewed strength.

This meditation was adapted from A Mindful Day: 365 Ways to Live Life With Peace, Clarity, and an Open Heart, by David Dillard-Wright. How did it go for you? Share your thoughts and feelings in Shorelines and you’ll be entered to win a copy of the book!
