Do you live in a playground or a prison..?

As a mindful meditator, every morning I wake up to practice a nourishing meditation that helps me to feel centred, creative, confident, kind and connected. Essentially I practice a deep relaxation and a chakra balancing meditation for my physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.

Too often in my life I have woken up stressed and anxious. Worried about the day ahead and all my responsibilities and struggling to let go of what happened the day before. My meditation is a reset button for me and it works best first thing in the morning. Its scientifically proven that you can train your brain to receive these positive thoughts to set you up for the day ahead to be the best version of yourself.

Today was one of those days when not only did I wake up from being physically ill with a stomach bug but also I received a terribly negative phone call 730am giving me one more warning to toe the line or I’m out. I was accused at work of creating a playground for myself..

As I reflected on  the word “playground”  it made me smile, as I was grateful to express my child-like self, my true creative self, I pondered that the other extreme is a “prison” which is deeply confined and guarded, constrained, and almost punishing.

Truly grateful to have an attitude that life is my playground and I’m ready to explore it with a sense of curiousity, fun and joy as we connect in  life like busy little ants running around with list of things to do, on a path to achieve our goals

Take a moment today to pause, and reflect on whether you live in a playground or a prison.

A daily meditation practice can offer a life of calm, clarity and freedom..
