The Art of Observing and the Present Moment

Yesterday I posted about compassion.  Having compassion for ourselves.  So, you may be asking, “how exactly do we do that?””.  I want to make this very simple.  I want everyone to have access to all you deserve in your life.  I truly believe that involves compassion for yourself.  To do this, we must observe ourselves.

If you take time to pretend you are outside of yourself watching and observing yourself, this is the  key.  You can then see all the great things about you and you can have compassion for yourself.  It also allows you to remove yourself from the emotion you are having and just observe your situation. 

I have heard very positive success stories about just observing rather than getting “caught up” in circumstance.  Circumstances are only temporary.  It is also true that you only have the present moment and if you can just be there life is ok in that moment. 

This can also work in our daily lives with our children.  Just observe your behavior with your children and see if it is healthy.  Remember to enjoy that present moment with your child and life will have a new perspective. 

Each time life feels overwhelming or you are not being compassionate with yourself, move to observance of you, all you have accomplished and all that you are.  This will shift your life over time. 

To you and your life,
