A bunch of words / concepts are floating in the space next to me. Or is it inside me? Anyway: Simplicity, slow down, minimalism, smile , enjoy, diversity, slow living, love, colours, drawing, listen, allow, be, simple, playful.
A need to simplify, to slow living, to being present and „smelling the roses". Looks a lot like the mindfulness that everyone is talking about these days (and pretending to be also living it). And yeah, maybe it is mindfulness, maybe it's soulfulness, heartfulness, I don't think the wording is of major importance here. It's the living behind it. Mindfulness is not easy. Though it seems so. But once you taste it, and once you combine it with your values, you start craving for more. It's about awareness, about stoping the autopilot we live our lives an, about taking a breath and observing, about looking at things and life from another perspective, about answering everyday the question: „What's really important for me in this life?" and then " How am I living that?" , and them... well, it depends on the answers to the first two questions. (I do have a bag full of provocative questions, just say the word and we can use them:) It's a process, this mindful living. A journey, not a destination - yeah, I know, what a cliche… but just stop rolling your eyes for a moment and allow this to unfold. It's with trial & error sometimes. Other times with trial & success. It's nurturing, satisfying and loving. I don't really know where all this is going, we shall see. So, what did I wanted to say with this? Nothing more (at this point) than I already did. Just to invite you to slow down for a couple of minutes. And breathe. Love, Alina.
