Conversation in a lift

“You always look good – I have a lot of pressure”…

I entered the lift at work yesterday on the way to my office…

There was already 2 other people in the lift, one of which I have seen before on previous occasions…

We said hello and exchanged a good morning…

As the lift stated to move I had my back to her but I could see her in the reflection of the mirror…

She was leaning up against the lift wall as if it was holding her up and her face looked a little tense…

As our eyes connected she said, “you always look good, I have a lot of pressure”…

The doors opened, I thanked her, and quickly left the lift…

Hummmm…

I wonder what she meant?…

I think almost everyone is dealing with some sort of pressure in their life during the day or week, it’s normal…

Everyone from the school child, business person to the senior citizen has something going on in life they need to deal with…

It’s normal, it’s life…

Does it mean we have to walk around with the weight of the world on our shoulders?…

Our choice…

Our body reflects on the outside what’s happening on the inside…

The same way we prepare to cook a meal by buying all the different ingredients,how do we prepare ourselves to enter our day?…

This is what I do…

⁃ I wake up while everyone else is still sleeping…

⁃ I do 20 minutes of stretching to wake up my body…

⁃ I do some reading to wake up my mind…

⁃ I start to focus on my day and what I need to do to make it outstanding…

⁃ I get ready for work and already there working at cafe, morning ritual, by 7am…

That’s what I do every morning to prepare my body, mind and spirit to stack the odds in my favour of feeling and looking good…

Now I can interact with people around me feeling empowered in achieving win / win outcomes…

I focus my mind during the day on my outcomes, solutions, what’s working, what I love, what makes me happy and I know this inner thinking show up on my body…

How do you prepare your body, mind and spirit before you step into the office every morning?…

Our body reflects on the outside what’s happening on the inside…
