Do you take some time each day to “stop and smell the roses” as they say? In this hurried world we live in, we rarely take the time to look at the beauty that surrounds us. This affects us and leads to more stress in our lives. Noticing the beauty around us has a calming effect on us, therefore it is a natural stress release. When we go through our days hurrying from one activity to the next, never stopping to have those calming moments, the stress just builds up until we want to pop. So it is necessary to add in these calming moments throughout your day in order to break up the stresses. It helps to neutralize them.

All this means is that as you are walking to your car, you take notice of the gentle breeze on your face and you hear the beautiful song coming from the birds up the trees. When you are working on your computer, you stop for a brief moment and you feel the warm sun shining in through the window. When you are doing yard work, you feel the earth energy and really experience the beauty in the flowers and trees. It’s about becoming mindful as you go through your day. Don’t just do each activity without noticing all the wonder that surrounds you.

When you begin to add this mindfulness into your life, you will naturally feel calmer, as I mentioned before. You will also begin to see the oneness of everything, and you will know that everything is interconnected. We come to this earth and we forget that we are connected to everything that exists. This is because everything, and I mean everything, is made up of energy. We are made of energy. The computer you are looking at is made of energy. The rocks on the ground are made of energy, as are the flowers, trees, the food you eat, the books you read, the oven, the table, the grass, the driveway, even your thoughts, your words, your feelings, and your actions all carry an energy. I could go on and on because literally everything is made up of energy. Therefore, we are all united by that fact.

The beauty of oneness is that you are not alone. When you can really grasp this point, you will notice things flowing more easily in your life because you will begin to allow the energy of the Universe to help you through life.
