Be Present


Hello beautiful people and happy Saturday to you. I hope you are all having a wonderful day. Today I wanted to share with you a quote I have been sharing in my yoga classes this week... 

'Everyday set the simple goal of being more awake and less distracted.' ~ Russell Simmons. 

Often people find it difficult to just be present. There are so many distractions in this world, social media, to do lists, thoughts racing, looking forward to the future too much or dwelling in your past too much. We are all guilty of this from time to time. Today take notice of every beautiful, little moment in your day. Your morning cup of coffee. The sound of the rain on the rooftop. The coolness of the autumn breeze. Notice every smile, be kind, be AWAKE. Live in the moment and love the life you live.

  5. This is such a great reminder to appreciate the little things around us. Even the ability to use your own personal bathroom, and have your own bed. Just thank you so much for this
