Water and Mindset

“Ships don’t sink because of the water around them; ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Don’t let what’s happening around you get inside you and weigh you down.”- Anonymous

Hey there MK Namaste Fam,

It’s good to be back in your inbox after a break over the holidays. I went to Florida with my family for vacation and had a wonderful time embracing the sunshine. While we were in Florida, we learned that a pipe had burst at home from the cold. As we can’t be in our house for a few more days while we figure out the heat, my boys and I stayed in Florida. It got me thinking about water. How it is both so healing; to drink, to listen to the ocean sounds, to jump in the waves and also can be devastating; like when it freezes and bursts your pipes.

So much of life is like this right? Everything needed in moderation or at it’s right time or it can be harmful. As I was thinking about this, I asked myself, what is the lesson here? I’m still figuring that out but for this week I am going to focus on controlling what I can, which is my mindset. I can focus on the fact that our house has work to be done or on the fact that I have a few more days in the sunshine with my boys. So today I will dip my toes in the ocean and swim in the pool with a sense of presence and gratitude for this crazy ride of the ups and downs of life. What plan b are you embracing right now? How can you be present in that experience?

Affirmation for the week:

I am in control of my mindset.
