Now is the Time...

Between the minutes of running my dog to the vet for her annual appointment, meeting the team to promote our upcoming event, lunch with the staff members at a college, coaching freshman boys volleyball, dodging the crowds at Costco, reading a bedtime story to my 10 month old, catching up on all my new school work, writing this massive run-on sentence; magically, somehow, I saw Now is the Time: 170 Ways to Seize the Moment by Patrick Lindsay.  My fingers just picked a page to open and I looked down to read it. 

The world absolutely amazes me at it's impeccable timing.  The page read as follows:

            Now is the time….

to let it all hang out

                                            Sometimes you must release pent-up pressures.
                                            Don’t be half-hearted about it.
                                            Make sure you open the valve fully.
                                            Some do it with a primal scream.
                                            Some let off steam with a full-on workout, run, or swim.
                                            Whatever works for you, do it.
                                           The feeling of freedom is delicious.

Have you ever had this moment?  Where the chaos you have chosen for your life suddenly makes you want to run from it, actually even hide from it?

You know you have been in that moment when the world is screaming at you to stop and breathe. It is telling you loudly that you need to pause, reorganize, prioritize, and really just stop moving. Its calling you back to center and think about what really matters.

Instead you press on or even find a pinterest picture with the quote  “Keep Calm and Carry On” to remind yourself how tough you are. 

You are tough and you are strong but the feeling of freedom is delicious.

Take a break. Go for a walk, run or swim.  Make time to read an extra bedtime story. We understand these pressures may be driven by you, your family or your work but no more excuses. Take a break. 

Whatever works for you, do it.

Now is the time.
