Feel stuck? Ask yourself how you’re feeling — do you need rest, food, a short walk? Take time to meet that need. When you return to your task, the work may flow more easily.

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

DON’T FORCE YOURSELF into relaxing. Just take time to breathe, and pay attention to that breath. Let the peace come!

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!
