What’s Mine to Do?￨Morning Meditation

Let’s face it, there’s a lot going on right now. The list of causes that need your support seems endless. The amount of news to stay abreast of feels overwhelming. And the amount of time and energy you personally possess feels insufficient. With all the noise in the world, how do we know where to place our focus? Sometimes it seems easier to simply scroll, consume, and repost, but this is not nearly as productive as many of us would like to believe. Instead of starting your day with a social media scan and doom scroll, why not check in with yourself? With a little intention, we can all tune into the frequency of our own hearts and spirits. From this place, it’s possible to find the daily work that we’re meant to do. Never underestimate how small tasks, done with love and intention, can bring meaningful magic into the world. As we carefully step through the forest of ice and snow, ponder the work of your life. What’s yours to do today?
