TWO-A-DAYS

TWO-A-DAYS

Have you ever participated in a team sport, trained for a marathon or tried to lose weight?  A common practice during these times is, TWO-A-Days.  This is when a team or person doubles up on their efforts and for a time practices or works out twice in the same day. 

The concept of doubling up, or TWO-A-Days, may also apply to studying during exam season or even when you have a cold and double your intake of vitamin C.

I have a new application for this concept. 

There are times when your mind and soul need this same kind of extra attention. When you are overwhelmed, overstressed, or overtired—you know, those times when the faster you go the more you have to do and it seems like there is never enough time to get it all done.  Your mind is racing and you feel like you are going crazy!

This is the perfect time to add TWO-A-Days to your life.  Twice a day begin just sitting.  If you meditate now, begin doing it twice a day.  If meditation is foreign to you, just give yourself 5, 10, or 15 minutes twice a day to just sit, relax and breathe.

I realize this seems impossible when you already are stretched for time and don’t have a minute to spare.  But, THIS is exactly when you need to do it the most.  Giving this extra time and space to clearing your mind puts the chaos on hold and helps you gain mental and physical balance.  During stressful times it also allows space for answers to come.

TWO-A-Days don’t have to be just for sports.  Learn to implement this into your own life.  Once you get through the stressful time you may realize all the benefits it brings into your life.  Peacefulness, calm, the ability to cope, and the lessening of the physical damage stress does to your body are all benefits of this practice.  You may decide giving yourself the gift of quiet twice a day is something you want to continue every day. 

Pennie’s Life Lesson:

“Give yourself the gift of quiet twice a day.  You deserve the peace it will bring to your life.”
