Make Purposeful Connections

The most precious gift you can give your friends and family is you and being present. 

Basic living today there are so many distractions, stress and one can feel overwhelmed and inadequate.  Stepping back from life and focusing on what matters; building relationships, enjoying nature and just being still, you will begin to fill accomplished and full. 

Moments happened naturally without planning, some amazing moments happen in my life that I did not plan and hard life changing moments without a plan either.  Life happens one way or another and accepting and letting go and trusting God is hard but, can be very freeing. 

 

Declutter and living simply is the only answer to gain a fulfilled life.  Knowing what is important and cutting out what is not will help  to achieve a life that is less distracted and nourished! 

Take a moment everyday when you plan your "To Do List" and decided what is important and focus on that.  Chores are one thing but, add relationships you want to strengthen, hobbies you enjoy and self care. 

Moments in life do not exactly happen the same time twice.  If an amazing moment occurs and you try to recreated again it will never happened exactly the same time twice.  Cherish ever moment as it is the last. 

Become an active participate in all moments in life.  Step outside your comfort zone and experience something different and unique.

Find beauty and peace in simple things. 

Take one day at a time and try not to focus on yesterday or tomorrow. 

There is always things to do, projects, and catching up, but slow down and enjoy today. 

Do not invest in your family and friends just on vacation but, in an ordinary day.  Have conversations in the car, waiting in a doctors office or while making dinner. 

A simple walk, bike ride or watching a movie can be opportunities to reconnect.  

 

I am a work in progress and have to "self check" daily but, I am just trying to live in the present, live simply and live my very best life!

I am not going to lie, it is not easy to put of my household chores, make huge dinners and put my cell phone down but, to truly live I need to decide how I want to live. 

The cost of distraction is high, you may miss out on relationships with your children, family, friends and love ones.  Grab today; what are you waiting for...
