It’s quiet, take  care of yourself time. Get out your coffee or tea and journal. Sit and breathe for a few minutes. Clear your mind. One technique that really helps me center quickly is to ask myself: What will my next thought be? Then just wait (this idea I learned from Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now). It really works. Another meditation technique I like when I don’t have a lot of time is simply closing my eyes and going through the colors of the rainbow.

Now that you are centered, it is time to write. This session is going to answer the question : “What am I here for?”.

That’s it. I encourage you to not censor yourself. Just write down as much as comes out. It could come out as a long list of quickly jotted down ideas or a slowly written essay, depending on your mood.

I don’t have much time and I want to just see what will come out if I write quickly without thinking too much.

This is how mine would look right now.

I Am here for:

1. Loving myself and others
2. creating
3. just being here and enjoying life
4. nurture others including myself
5. laughter
6. to learn many painful lessons
7. good work
8. to have fun
9. to write
10. express myself
11. be part of nature
12. follow what is in my heart
13. be a mom
14. be a teacher
15. be a wife
16. be a friend
17. be a sister
18. be a daughter
19. run my own business
20. trust and be part of something bigger than myself (God, the Divine, the Universe etc.)

I could continue but it is now your turn…

Have a blessed day.
