Doing your best work doesn’t always mean doing more, and certainly not driving yourself to exhaustion. It means taking time and giving everything the right level of attention.

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

I STOKE MY INNER FIRE and work steadily, putting my heart into even the small details, noticing the care I take.

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!
