The second

Like many others on earth I try to stay in touch with my spiritual side at all times, but it's hard, right? Especially when you live in a city and there's people everywhere, cars honking, trains to catch, jobs to be on time to. I think you understand what I meen, and sometimes it just feels impossible to be spiritual. But first things first, what is spirituality anyway? 

For starters I want to say it's something personal, some of you may find spirituality on a walk in the forest, others may feel peace of mind when they meditate, some after a really hard workout and others even when they cook, cause it's their favorite thing to do. You've to try different things, and have patients. For me it took up to a year to even understand what it really ment to feel complete. But I never gave up, and if you don't give up you will succeed. 

For me spirituality is about having a peace of mind, to feel like life is really good and that you're happy in the place you are right now. But the most important thing is to always be "here, right now", not having anxiety over what you did yesterday, and not feel worried about tomorrow or next week or the weekwend after that, but be able to live right now in this moment with no worries what so ever. 

And how do I do that?
Well, for starters I sitt comortably. I really don't get those meditatons were you have to sit with a straight back, with your legs crossed like i tailor and feel pain in every single muscle? It's not possible to get relaxed that way? Not for me anyway. (And for you who can? I'm happy for you, maybe that's the next challange for me? ;)) Anyways, when I feel comfortable i close my eyes and I listen. My absolute favorite place is somewere outside by a leaf forest were i can sit and hear the trees whisper to me. And I ask myself, what is it that I hear, right now? Maybe I hear a tree, and the next thing i hear might be a bird. After a while i smell, still with my eyes closed, what is it I smell, right now, maybe grass, maybe soil? Then, still with closed eyes, i feel. How's my feet? Is every toe relaxed, and how is my breathing? is it relaxed? Do I feel any pain anywere? 

And it's important that what ever you hear, smell, feel or think, it's okay!! It's okay if you sit there and thinking about jellybeans or that horrible thing that happened last week. And hey, change your position if you're not comfortable. Cause it's hard to steer your thoughts. Don't beat yourself  up if you can't be there, right now. You will be some day, I promise you. 

If you can do this, even just for one minute, you've gotten yourself a minute of right now. And that's a minute were you didn't have any anxiety about yesterday or tomorrow. And if you do this, (or anything else that makes you feel calm and "togheter") a few times a day, I promise you life will get better itself. 

Good luck!
