The Checklist: The Christmas 10

No checklist this week - as the time-saver above does the job.

The Pause Portal: Budleigh Salterton (Busyness)

What catches your

attention?

New?

Noise?

Chatter?

Shiny things?

Cut price offers?

The birds on the water’s edge

cackle and strut

bicker and flap

bob and squawk.

But that is not where the most energy is.

It’s not even in the rapids

curling round round to meet the sea.

It’s in the water before the rapids.

The energy is undissipated by

rapids

shallows

commotion.

Was it the first thing you noticed?

Probably not.

And that’s the point.

What catches your attention

doesn’t automatically

deserve your attention.

Noise

Chatter

Shiny things

have energy.

But not every energy

is worth your time.

The energy of comparison.

The energy of busyness.

The energy of FOMO.

Where will you get your energy today?

Where will you put your energy today?

If we can get these questions right

more often than not

we’ll be alright.

Notice your breath’s rhythm

On the out-breaths

think about where

your energy is going.

Is it life-improving?

On the in-breaths

think about where

your energy is coming from.

.

Is it life-giving?

It’s a start.

Breathe out one more time.

Try it and see what difference it makes.
