Take Two (Minutes)

When compared to a day, a week or a lifetime, two minutes is really no big deal.

But taking two minutes right now (after you read this post), can have a huge impact on the rest of your day.

What do I want you to do for the next two minutes?  How about a two-minute meditation.  It’s easy.  It’s quick.  And, you guessed it, it’s only two minutes.  Plus you can do this with your kids!

breatheTake two minutes out of your very busy day (social media) and sit quietly while focusing on your breathing.  The deep inhale and the deep exhale.  Keep your focus there for just two minutes.  Your mind is going to wander.  I call this ‘Monkeys On The Bed’ syndrome.  But just as quickly as your mind wanders, bring your attention back to your breathing.  Inhale.  Exhale.  Gently but deeply.  Inhale.  Exhale.

No need to have a fancy mantra from the dynamic duo of Oprah / Chopra.  No meditation mat required.  No chimes to ring or candles to burn.  Just direct your focus to your breathing.  Let the monkeys jump, push them away and come back to the breathing.  Ahhhh.  That’s nice.  I know.

This little exercise will bring you peace at this very moment.  Calmness will reside where deadlines and commitments once stood.  Do you feel that?  It’s called a smile.  : )

Who knows.  From here, you just might accomplish great things in less time with less stress.  Folks around you might start looking at you saying “Hmmmmm”.  Or is it “Ohmmmm”?  Either way, you will feel the shift and the benefit.

Take two minutes. If you don’t have two minutes to spare, you might want to loosen up your schedule (caped crusader).
