Where’s the space in this day - in this moment - for you?
The high price for trying to get everything done is letting yourself become undone. A busy life is an easy place to lose you. Even in a busy life, the greatest gift you can give yourself is the gift of your own attention, discovering from within what is true and authentic.
For this self-discovery, exotic travel is optional. Inquiry is mandatory.
The just-released book A Minute for Me by Megan McDonough gives you a way to create space for you – a way of encouraging that self-inquiry to find your own answers. In the book you’ll find
-Personal and inspirational short stories to motivate and encourage you to pay attention to you, rather than being dragged around by life’s never-ending tasks.
-Simple 60-second exercises to build your “self-awareness” muscle that you can do to help bring clarity and calm to a crazy day.
-Ideas for generating new perspectives that can easily fit into your day without changing your schedule or adding another item on your to-do list.

A Minute for Me is not some theoretical, pie-in-the-sky, difficult to understand book. It’s absolutely down-to-earth and easy to identify with, so you absorb the messages quickly and easily. Open the book at any point, read for a minute, and then reflect on the questions. That uncomplicated and straightforward approach of reading and then reflecting gives you a minute for you!
Use A Minute for Me as a meditative practice, as a way of connecting to your own truth, or as a doorway to help you come back to yourself in this very moment.
You can think about the past, plan for the future, but the only time you experience life is right here, right now - in this very moment. As you read these words, can you feel your feet against the earth? Notice the length and depth of your breath? Be aware of the thoughts and emotions that are swirling?
A Minute for Me helps you live this moment to its fullest by bringing your attention to the most important person in the world – you.
You don’t have to go to a far-away retreat to be at peace. Maybe the ultimate exotic travel is the exploration of your own heart. That’s where the peace in this moment always resides.
