Today I am fully present for every task, treating

Today I am fully present for every task, treating EVERYTHING I do as a sacred act of self-love.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stating my intention reminds me how I want to BE throughout the day. Which makes YOU part of my process of continually learning to BE present, one precious moment at a time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I deeply appreciate you supporting my intention by holding space for it as you read this post.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you feel inspired, please share your intention in the comments, and I'll hold yours with you, as will others who are reading this.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As is usually the case, I choose this image to post, and THEN looked at its title, "Fully Present". Yet another nod from the highest part of me, affirming where to focus my energy. Thank you 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻.

Today my focus is on loving myself and treating every task as a prayer, a sacred act of love and devotion.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Seems fitting to post this favorite collage today as its titled "You are loved". Yes indeed you are, as am I. We are all made of love, every breath we take is love, and all before us is love embodied.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love YOU.

Can you believe these collage papers were made wit

Saying yes to EVERY stressful thought is once agai

Saying yes to EVERY stressful thought is once again my focus.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is hard to admit, but my mind loves to be dramatic, blow almost anything out of proportion, especially when it relates to people I love. It's almost as if my mind is searching for something to worry about, an unexpected shoe to drop.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The highest version of me knows that the universe is ALWAYS working in my favor, but my mind is often in protection mode, showing me every possible thing that MIGHT go wrong.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So here is what I'm doing to turn my sweet mind around, again.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every time I think a stressful thought about someone I love, usually something that hasn't yet happened (and most likely never will), I SAY YES as soon as I recognize that I'm doing this again, and then let go of the next thoughts. Literally let them go, like a cloud passing by.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The result?
I feel peace, at least until my mind reminds me of the next thing to worry about. And I will repeat this process over and over again, until it becomes a habit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've used this exact process to turn amazingly painful situations around with both of my parents, and a job that I hated. So I know it works. I just have to remember to do it ALL THE TIME!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can you relate to this? Do you use another method for quieting your worrying mind?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You might have guessed that this sold collage is titled "Say yes".

I'm doing my absolute best to follow what feels go

I'm doing my absolute best to follow what feels good in every moment, but doing what I SHOULD be doing is distracting me. Can you relate?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Case in point -
this collage painting, and the entire Presence collection.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I finished this series in 2021, and STILL have not released it for sale. I SHOULD prepare it for an online launch, but then its just one of many projects I SHOULD be doing. Like completely revamping my studio (its a disaster) and oh yeah, my taxes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My to-do list feels enormous, and I'm guessing yours is just as long. So once again I go back to what I know to be true . . .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All is well (the title of this collage), and there is nothing I SHOULD be doing except the simple task before me, which happens to be typing this post.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ahhhh . . . just type this post, I'm totally into this.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just saying "All is well" makes me take a deep breath and remember that all I SHOULD do is the thing I'm inspired to do in front of me. Type this post.....
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is the next thing you are inspired to do? Let's be fully focused on the task in front of us together.
