\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Have you had the chance to be bored lately?\u00a0 It’s certainly not exciting.<\/p>\n

But such luxury!<\/p>\n

Boredom comes on the heels of fun, joy, and all good things.\u00a0 Sometimes, when boredom sets in, I wander through the house wondering things like:\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 What should I do now?<\/p>\n

Once I define my situation:\u00a0 the blahs! – I like to take a little time and reflect on this experience.\u00a0 Truly, I’m a little afraid of boredom.<\/p>\n

Boredom, after all, creates space for new and different and creative things to germinate.\u00a0 Unexpected opportunities will appear, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I think about boredom.\u00a0 Sitting is for thinking.\u00a0 Lying down is for\u00a0 recharging.\u00a0 Sleeping is for healing.\u00a0 Standing is for action.<\/p>\n

Sitting invites unexpected opportunities.<\/p>\n

When I’m bored, I stop and talk with myself about encouraging unexpected opportunities.\u00a0 I know they always come:\u00a0 hand-in-hand with boredom.<\/p>\n

It’s easy to live with boredom.\u00a0 After all, “blah” is safe, if nothing else.<\/p>\n

When, if, you can shake off boredom, you’ll discover opportunities you’ve never noticed before.\u00a0 \u00a0They’ve been hiding just out of sight.<\/p>\n

This is also a good time to focus on things you can create.\u00a0 \u00a0Tap into a timeline which isn’t available right now.\u00a0 It’s there though.\u00a0 Just out of sight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Take time to meditate now.\u00a0 Slow your mind a bit and heal.\u00a0 Meditation can\u00a0 release old emotions, making room for renewal and newness.\u00a0 This helps you become comfortable.<\/p>\n

Begin with an out-of-the-way spot where you feel safe and comfortable.\u00a0 Take a deep breath.\u00a0 Hold it for a moment and exhale.\u00a0 As you inhale and exhale, release old memories, fears, and everything that no longer serves you.<\/p>\n

Release tension with each exhale.<\/p>\n

Breathe in all that you need with each inhale.<\/p>\n

With a final inhale, see that you are walking in a forest.\u00a0 Observe the stillness and the quiet as you walk along.\u00a0 Smell the trees, flowers, and the clean green of the forest.<\/p>\n

As you walk along, you come to a small pool with a gentle waterfall.\u00a0 There is a bench just on the edge of the pool.<\/p>\n

Everything is clean, quiet, and inviting.\u00a0 You remove your shoes and clothes and put them on the bench.\u00a0 Then you step into the pool.\u00a0 The water is just the perfect temperature.\u00a0 You enjoy the feel of the water as you sit in the pool<\/p>\n

While you are\u00a0 surrounding yourself in the pool, you look at the area around the edge of the\u00a0 pool.\u00a0 You notice the plants, the trees, and the sunlight coming down through the trees in the area around you.<\/p>\n

As the water surrounds your body, you feel renewed, cleansed, and refreshed.<\/p>\n

You feel like a new person.<\/p>\n

After a short time, you look around and know it’s time to leave the pool.\u00a0 You step out of the pool and find a new towel on the bench.\u00a0 You dry yourself with the towel.<\/p>\n

As you reach for your clothes, you notice they are different from the ones you left there.\u00a0 These new clothes feel soft and shimmery as you put them on.\u00a0 They fit you perfectly.\u00a0 The colors are your favorites.<\/p>\n

The clothes fit perfectly.\u00a0 You look different now.\u00a0 You feel different, changed somehow.\u00a0 You begin to walk away from the pool.<\/p>\n

As you walk away, you come to a figure on the path.\u00a0 You know, without being told, that this person is joining you to answer a question you have in your heart.\u00a0 .<\/p>\n

The answer to your question appears in your mind and heart.<\/p>\n

You know now, it is time to return to the present as you receive the wise being’s\u00a0 blessing.<\/p>\n

You leave the pool area on a path.\u00a0 Feeling positive, you notice your surroundings.\u00a0 You are ready to process the information you received in the forest.<\/p>\n

It’s time to return to the present.\u00a0 Filled with gratitude, you know that you can return to this place any time you want.<\/p>\n

You send messages of gratitude to your family and friends.<\/p>\n
