Weekday Meditation Day 4 – Thanksgiving Meditation

While it may be the most wonderful time of the year, it is also the most anxiety riddled season to boot. I want to encourage you, with great urgency, to take eight minutes and prioritize your life, starting with quietude, gratitude, Scripture, and prayer.

I’ve had some huge feedback on this guided meditation and in your 8-10 minute commitment, I promise you that you’ll be ready for anything thrown your way…including the hectic holiday season.

I didn’t grow up hearing the word meditation. Growing up in the home of a hardcore fundamentalist, the term meditation was for those hippies out west on Haight & Ashbury. As a result, I needed someone to model what meditation was, what it was focused on and how do you do this foreign concept? Each Weekday Guided Meditation will focus your head, heart, and hands on the things that matter most.

Thanksfor joining me for this 5 Day Meditation. I’ll be back with my BLOG Posts on Monday.

Here is Today’ WEEKDAY MEDITATION

The Day after the Day After The Day

by

There is something rather pedestrian about December 27. The almost here of the 24th, the majesty and wonder of the 25th, the excitement and returns of the lingering big day on the 26th…and then the 27th. It seems so blah.

But the day after the day after the day is pure awesomeness! But why you ask? Here’s my list of reasons for today being awesome:

  1. You did it! Celebrate the fact that you made it. You made it through the rush and expectations and the gift exchanges, and on and on. You made it!
  2. Today is a day to get your home or office ready for the new year! Committing two blocks of time to put your work or living space in order can radically improve your attitude and your productivity. I’ve committed two 70 minutes blocks of time to my home office and our main living space.
  3. If you’re a football fan, like I am you know that this week is “The Most Wonderful Week of the Year!” At least according to ESPN and the Bowl Week!
  4. If you’re not a football fan, how great will it be to have about 4 hours each day this week to go do what you’ve been wanting to do. ENJOY!
  5. And my favorite – Research and determine what tool you will use for capturing your goals, dreams, tasks, and calendars for the new year. I am constantly looking for a better system to improve my time and goal management and my task or calendar. I know many of you do not share those affinities, so you can use sticky notes or a legal pad. They all work with the same operating system – You!

It’s been a great Christmas season. Let’s commit to that “good will toward all people” thing we heard 400 times over the past month.

Stay Cool,
Chuck
