There is a lot going on in my life now, and a new class starts on Monday. There is also a family reunion scheduled in a couple of weeks, and a few major personal and business projects to finish in the next two weeks. You may find my posting a bit haphazard for a while.

Although I always try to follow my heart and stay aligned and in the moment, it is harder when there is additional stress. I know that even when I’m overworked and under rested that if I just do a few things I’ll feel in my flow.

For the next few weeks I’m concentrating on activities that keep me in the flow.

• Daily Exercise, mostly Yoga -including very deep breathing.

• Writing each morning (even if I don’t post).

• Playing with my daughter - this keeps me in the moment.

When I know I can’t get everything done in a day, I just come back to these three things. I know that if I do those, I’ll stay in the flow, be centered, and keep my personal stress level way down.

I do these things anyway from day to day, but when I’m stressed it is the very activities that I should continue to do that seem to get moved to an my non-priority list.

My mind says to my body:

Who has time to work out, there’s the project to complete?

So regardless of what else is going on, I promise to do these daily activities - for myself.

How do you react to stress and what keeps you in the flow?
