THE BLACK FRIDAY BATTLE FOR PEACE & JOY—PART ONE
Repeating something rhythmic as you let your mind drift or more correctly focusing on that mantra is a powerful step in being in the moment when you meditate. During this. Final assault which is “Black Friday” this blog will provide a mantra that comes in the form of an expanding poem.
If you want to wait till actual Black Friday to read the whole thing I’d say that’s okay, however consider each day part of the fuel needed to find a little peace and joy throughout the week. My little rhyme may not be a door buster. On the other hand, you won’t be paying high interest rates all year and you can enjoy it now!
So here’s how this works....
Starting on Sunday before Black Friday close your eyes for 30 seconds—ready now—-quit reading...close your eyes and count from thirty to 1 backwards....
Now read the following Sets of lines to yourself mouthing the words. You do not have to say them out loud if you are in a room with folks, but you can Read each line till you have committed. It to memory so that tomorrow’s addition will be easy to add in.
Am I really expecting. You to memorize this—yes—why? Because retailers are ramming their messages of. Inadequacy and status down your throat all season and this is a defense designed to let your mind and soul chill out and resists. So here we go my friends
B is beginning, the place we all are
Breathe deeply at home, in stores and your car
L is for learning to like our current status
Heed not what the sale tags keep screaming at us
A’s for Allow—your. Best gifts to show through
Give of yourself freely it’s the best you can do
.... Okay when you feel a little. Irritated or nervous or worried. That you can’t find the right gift or won’t get the right gift or if you aren’t ready to see this person or that. In a holiday gathering simply close your eyes, breathe deeply and repeat these. First three sets of lines—peace and joy even in the chaos of this ever evolving retail nightmare is within you.
Have a great Sunday and we’ll be back with more on mellow-out Monday.
