I had the most wonderful Saturday. On reflection as to why, I realised it was a Saturday drenched with NO EXPECTATION! How heavenly! It was just me with no role to play (brother, son, professional, leader, bait for potential husband) or no need to be anything else than what I was in that current moment.When I look back at what I did when I was all with myself with no expectation, it was truly awesome to see what I gravitated towards in terms of activities. Dreaming, blogging, dancing to music, breathing purposefully, cooking, spending time having healing and insightful conversations, empowering others! These were just some of the themes that I spent my time doing.
The day was truly awesome and rewarding in ways I can't really explain. So today, as I feel rather reflective after an awesome day spent in bliss, with me and with loved ones, let's look for moments, periods or a day in our weeks to just be without expectation. Allow that freedom to just be you with no duty, mask or doing to fulfill an expectation whether self imposed or imposed by others.
Even if you just start off with an hour a week where all you do is just be with no distraction of duty calling.
Just a thought I had last night as I peacefully and with a huge smile entered dream land . . . . . .

They are the best days to have, and we are able to have them everyday, if only we are aware enough to listen...
ReplyDeleteDon't you just revel in those days?
ReplyDeleteI love the days when I open the windows, bake something sweet, and read a good book.
@Gemel - Amen, one can have them everyday simply by allowing it :)
ReplyDelete@ Phoebe - I love them soooooooo much. It is really just love for self on a constant flow. I love the notion of the baking. I find myself being drawn to cooking lately and looks like I am finding some joy in that :)
