It would be amazing to have a huge chunk of time to focus on a task, and to have the satisfaction of a job well done.
Since having children I have found that huge chunks of time are dedicated to children and family related activities, and other tasks that I need/ want to get done just aren’t able to have huge blocks of time allocated.
I have also found that it’s incredible what I can achieve in 10 minutes. I can start a task and get one thing done. I can clean part of the bathroom. I can do a 10 minute workout, or even just go for a 10 minute head clearing walk (by myself when someone else takes care of the kids….it can take 10 minutes just to get the kids ready to leave the house!).
10 minutes. I can focus on what I CAN do rather than all the things I “have” to do.
Because I am obsessed with all things wellness, I also relate the 10 minutes approach to more than just getting the housework done (or indeed looking for the cleaner I have been meaning to get).
10 minutes can be used to complete a Loving Kindness Meditation.
10 minutes can be used to contact a friend who you have been thinking about.
10 minutes can be used to complete a 10 minute workout, or a 10 minute yoga session, or go for a 10 minute walk, or a 10 minute run.
10 minutes can be used to look at that recipe book (or look online) for a healthier version of a meal you like (Shepherdess pie anyone?)
10 minutes, it’s easy to over look the time you have because of the time you don’t.
If you were to use the next 10 minutes supporting your wellness, what would you do?
I have found with the people that I help that using minerals gives us a strong foundation to work with.
On a personal level I am extremely grateful for the support of minerals!!
When you start to think in a downward spiral, or become distracted or focussing on negative “unwanted” thoughts - of the past, the present or the future you simply tell your brain “Useful Thoughts Only”
The trick is catching yourself in the act, but I suspect you may have a few (or even many) opportunities each day to practice this technique. The great thing is, even if you realise after quite a while that you have been riding the unhelpful thought train, you can stop at any time and tell yourself - USEFUL THOUGHTS ONLY.
