Slow down, refocus —— ADD tip o the day 52

 

A copy of a small blue book, The Quiet Mind, sits in the book shelf in my office, where I see it every time I go in or out of the door.  The going in or out becomes the anchor that reminds me to look at the book.  The book contains a number of spiritual blurbs, fairly    woo woo, of guidance, encouragement and wisdom.

I read a blurb almost every time I go in or out of the office.  This practice slows me down, refocuses me on a spiritual mindset, reminds me of what is important.  Recently I was in a big hurry, and became aware that I was hurrying, and stopped  and read a blurb.  It was about not hurrying.   Same thing happened one day when I was worrying and the blurb that I got was on — not worrying.  So sometimes the message is important and helpful, but the main thing is just the practice  – stop, slow down, read a spiritual blurb to redirect my mind.  You could do this with any spiritual book.  It is great for ADD or ADHD.
