Live from the interest, not the principal — it’s important to create an inner pool of energy that you constantly refill. Don’t work so hard that you forget to pay attention to your inner self. When your mind gets foggy, take a break.

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

I BRING MY AWARENESS to the expansive space within me. I trust that if I do not push, everything will come together in due time.

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!
