I read an article recently that referred to the Japanese principle of Kaizen. It inspired the author to take one minute each day to progress with something she wanted. The article is called, “Overcoming Laziness: The Japanese Principle of Kaizen” by Dondi Leigh.
I was inspired to take action with this as well but wasn’t sure which direction to aim this intention. Then it smacked me upside the head: my writing.
I get ideas ALL THE TIME and I don’t always follow them because I feel time constrained. So I decided to implement One Minute Musings. Little bites of reality as I see them, lessons to learn or things I need to share with the world.
I am sure some of these will become bigger articles, but One Minute Musings is exactly what I need “write” now (haha I love my own jokes!)
So here is number one, I woke up with this today….
My neck aches, my back groans. My hips feel rusty! Seriously, I am only 42 and I feel like I imagine an 80-year-old without an ounce of yoga under her belt would feel.
It’s time to let go of some stress. I have been going, going, going and I’m going to take my own advice and stop – relax and be present. Enjoy all the things I have going on and fuck the rest.
Stress sucks and I refuse to become her bitch again.
