A minute……… sixty seconds…….. not a lot of time to accomplish much, or is it?
“I’ll be there in a minute” can seem like an eternity to a child. Right now, each of us has a choice on how we are going to spend the next minute of our lives.
What are some things that can be done in a minute or less that can have unlimited time benefits?
- Text message, tweet, or facebook a friend and just let them know you’re thinking about them
- Give a hug to someone you love (with a big wet willy snuck in— optional)
- Really look at that girl at checkout, smile and pay her a compliment
- Stop whatever I’m doing and be near my child for just a moment even if I don’t have any additional time to spare
- Pause……… just stop and reflect on exactly where you are and what you are doing at THIS moment
- Some kind of stomach crunch or Kegel exercises while sitting in the chair you’re in, right now….. :O)
Any other suggestions that you can come up with to make the most of every minute of every day? Just taking it one purposeful minute at a time helps. Eventually, we all run out of time. What will your last minutes be like?
