I have always been incredibly impatient - apparently my Moon being in Aries has something to do with it according to my birthchart reading recently! I always want to be onto the next thing, sometimes my mind is flooded with so many ideas that I don't know where to start. I have a tendency to go into "headless chicken" mode if I am not mindful - running around trying to do lots of things and then collapsing in burn out.
Meditation has been a life saver for me and my poor mind and body! Recently in a guided meditation facilitated by the wonderful Maggie Kay www.maggiekaywisdom.com - I had the image of a flower and the message was something like this - "the flower's petals open very slowly to reveal its full beauty, we cannot see the petals opening, but it is happening none the less". I now keep this image in mind whenever I feel frustrated because I feel "things are moving too slowly" or "I need to do this more quickly". Time is a subjective experience - notice when on holiday how time appears to slow down and yet when the pressure is on to get something done it speeds up!
Take a lesson from the flowers, they are in no rush to bloom and grow, enjoy the journey.
See you tomorrow
