Living a peaceful, fulfilling life is sacred. Is There More to Life Than This?

---

Keeping it short, sweet & in perspective with this one.....

I remember an episode of the sitcom Seinfeld in which Jerry was, for once in his life, thoughtful and sensitive. In reviewing his shallow life, he asked, “Isn’t there more to life than this?”

His neighbor Kramer replied, “I know the answer to that: There isn’t!”

What if there isn’t more to life than simplicity, appreciating every day, helping others, and being kind when we can? I think that’s not so bad!

Spiritual Acts in a Daily Life

There are some things I consider sacred in life, and they certainly are simple. Perhaps making time to add them to your day will bring the sacred back into it:

1. Prayer.

2. Meditation.

3. Time in nature.

4. Time with children; they certainly know how to live in the moment.

5. Meal preparation. It’s an opportunity to pray over your food. Make it a meditation.

6. Greet the day. Watch the sun rise and say, ”Thank you.”

7. Say “goodnight” to the day and express gratitude for everything that happened that day.

8. Declutter your home, which also leads to decluttering your mind. I just went through a massive purging, getting rid of things I no longer use in our home at the shore. It feels like a weight of junk and dust has lifted & a fresh ocean breeze has blown through.

9. Awake early to have time to meditate or pray, breathe, and watch the seagulls, while slowly, mindfully, drinking a cup of coffee or tea.

10. When you feel the need to buy something, stop. Wait twenty-four hours. Why do you want it? Do you need it? What void is it filling? What else can fill it?

Do you keep the T.V. on without even watching it? Try leaving the T.V. off and listening to music instead. So I still hear voices, but more pleasant ones. Check out my Spotify playlist under Idanze - you'll find all kinds of yoga, barre, and pilates mixes in my DivineMoxie folder, as well as some personal playlist fav's.

Turning off the T.V. and stepping back from social media can also give you time with a loved one, time for exercise, time for self, time to observe nature, time for a PaddleYoga class!

Why not take some time to slow down, incorporate some of these spiritual acts into your day, and see what a difference it makes?
