Enjoy the Simple Things

There is a profound richness to be found within our daily experiences and relishing life’s simple pleasures. Experience the smell of rain or the warmth of the first ray of sun on the skin as you step outdoors; enjoy the slow dance of tea leaves gracefully descending to the bottom of a pot or the warmth of a tea cup in your hands; take pleasure in the soothing glow and gentle flicker of a lit-up candle as you take a hot bath. Even the petting of a favourite animal can concentrate your focus on the here and now. Engage all your senses, from the visual, to texture, taste, sound and smell.

When you are fully present in the current moment your anxieties and worldly worries drop away. In that moment, the pace of the outside world and race to the finish line is no longer important. When this happens, you have liberated yourself from the pervasive pressures imposed by the passage of time; you have successfully “tamed your time”.

When you tame time, you’ll find it easier to deal with everyday stresses and live a healthier and happier life. You improve your coping mechanisms and overall wellbeing
