The space in between

inbetween
It's difficult not to fixate on the big moments, the marking events, the beginnings and the ends. If we were to sum up our day, week, year, or life, we would focus on a few specific events and forget everything in between. 


When we pause to appreciate those delicious moments in between the hustle, that's when we can experience simply being. But instead of relishing those delicious little moments, we run around like crazy people, our brain rarely ever even synced with our bodies. Our hands are typing a text while our feet walk us down the sidewalk and our brain makes a grocery list. Challenge yourself to take a second and see if you can focus your hands, feet and mind on the same thing, for even a second... Sounds easy-- I guarantee your brain will scurry off on its own agenda in a millisecond or two. 


We can practice focusing on these moments by using an anchor to root our attention. By linking the mind and the body into doing one thing together, using both simultaneously, we can practice honing in on that little space in between, which when you zoom close enough, is infinite.
