I Take a Breath Today

I’ve found myself being too attached to the outcome of a project I’m working on. I’m feeling anxious, unnerved, fearful, angry.

I stopped today and realized that I wasn’t in my desired state of mind and body, and I felt constricted, alone, bored and confused for a couple of days.

Thank Goodness for Wayne Dyer, who in his chapters on Willingess and Passion in his new book, "Excuses Begone!", helped set me straight. Or, in another sense, I was able to both attract the right teachings from reading his book, as well as be able to have enough awareness of my Self to apply his teachings to my current situation almost immediately.

So, first I’m breathing on purpose, deeply, into my belly. Feeling the breath come in and go out, and feeling the relaxation that comes from this practice.

Secondly, I’m allowing my body to relax, which relaxes my mind and so my emotions. I feel more content, and able to see this project for what it is: a part of the path, something I can see and feel but isn’t a life or death aspect of my life, and I can relax and Let It Go. It will be what it will be, in it’s own time.

So thirdly, I take a breath, I relax, I see this project and it’s unfolding timeline as perfect in every way. I can feel the sense of Perfection flowing over me as I type these words, relaxing even more as this sense becomes more real for me.

As I relax, I enjoy the project already more. It’s harder for me to enjoy such a project when I feel so tensed up about it. Maybe you have that struggle too?

And I smile. I’m content with what I’ve done, my contribution, my place in the project and in the Universe–not to be too dramatic–but as others have said that "The personal is political", so I say, "The personal is Universal". What we experience in every moment is how we hold ourselves in the Universe.

I choose to hold myself in peace, satisfaction, contentment and ease in the Universe.

I take a breath today.
