SoulMinder Inspiration
It's always a bit of shock to my system to have a wonderfully relaxing Thanksgiving weekend followed abruptly by the rush of the holiday shopping season. Traffic grows exponentially - as does rudeness and irritation.
It seems fitting, therefore, to focus this morning's SoulMinder on inner peace. As Joan Borysenko points out in her WisdomFlash courtesy of ConsciousOne.com, kindness is a natural gift we can offer one another if we choose consciously to share it.
SoulMinder Solution
In what small conscious way can you share kindness with others as you go about your holiday shopping? Here are just a few suggestions:
- Smile at each salesperon and cashier you encounter.
- Hold the door open for those behind you.
- Play music or a soulful CD while you drive around doing errands.
- Take time to savor the sights and sounds of the holiday season as you shop.
- Say a prayer for each person you allow into the lane in front of your car. Say a prayer for each person who fails to allow you into the lane in front of their car.
- Count your blessings and write them down.
May you discover that peace is possible even in the midst of busyness,
