Changing the Moment and Causing a Shift of Focus

This past week I looked at changing the outcome. I looked at my day in advance and thought how I could bring part of myself to the moment, consciously. As I packed, for work on Saturday night I thought of the “consumer” I would work with. How could I change our day? I packed a special massage cream to use. The cream was used in my practice when I worked full time as a massage therapist and that part of my shift became a moment of peace and happiness.

On Friday I thought where do I want to take the person I am caring for—what colors do I want to share, what aromas, what song will I sing, what music will I play in the car. I took it to a teaching and sharing level and the change in my emotions and satisfaction took on new meaning.

Just simply planning a lunch that is healthful, organic, bright and colorful, crisp and fresh is energizing. I am keeping water at my side in a green poly-carbonate bottle. I have dried pineapple on hand in my magical red backpack. Textures, crunchy, smooth, creamy, a variety that stimulates my perceptions.

I am planning to change the bedside table, my pillow, using a scented hand-cream before sleep. Lighting. Two weeks ago, I started turning off the television for part of my evening as the people I share a home with have it on, often. I now ask, “Anyone watching this?” Then click. The quiet at the close of my day is calming.

Routes to where I travel on an everyday basis have become adventurous. I take the long route or more scenic route. I make a random turn. This upcoming week I promise to visit a store I have never walked into. Leave my biz postcards in a new location. And change up the plants on my desk.

How do I feel about this post?
Pleased, Adventurous, Expectant.
