Each morning I check in with God through Active Meditation. It begins with my Daily Journaling Practice, walking my dog, stretching out, working out for 35 minutes, and then I sit down and type out my conversation with God. It’s a powerful process and so I thought I would share with you yesterday’s notes:
Me: Good morning, God!
God: Good morning.
Me: I come to you today with an open heart and mind. I don’t have an agenda or anything in particular in mind.
God: Sweet.
Me: So I’m here to check in with you. What would you like me to focus on today?
God: I love how you are already focusing on joy. I saw that you realized how much easier it was to work out {at the gym} when your mind and heart were filled with joy.
Me: yes, I loved it. In fact, there were times when I thought, “This is supposed to be harder!” and then I just let it go and continued on with my easy workout.
God: Good for you. It is important {for you to understand} that life was not designed to be hard and difficult. It was designed to require hard work. And yet, enjoyable work. Work that is challenging and energizing all at the same time.
Me: oh I like that! It takes some of the pressure off. Speaking of pressure, what’s up with the human need to be productive all the time?
God: Ah yes, the need to be productive. It’s more about panic as opposed to productivity isn’t it?
Me: yes! Because I have noticed that it is easier to be productive when I don’t need to be productive.
God: yes! That is the key. Notice the difference between what you say is the driving force and what truly is the driving force. This is where a lot of humans run into trouble in creating their lives. They say one thing with their mouths and something different with their hearts.
Me: oh wow! That’s insightful. Thank you!
God: you’re welcome.
Me: okay, I need to go get ready for me day.
God: I thought that’s what we were doing!
Me: you’re funny, God! I mean that I need to go shower and get ready for my next appointment.
God: well, thank you for making me one of your first appointments of the day!
Me: you’re welcome! Anything else you’d like to say before I sign off?
God: Nope. Be a joyful day!
Me: thank you.
God: you’re so very welcome.
