Just wanted to let you know how this has helped me start my “structure” for 2009. The phrase ‘this is what I do’ has become my mantra for the last few days. Amazing how it works! So simple. Thanks. I’m twittering the link, but don’t know if you’re on Twitter.

I think this is just what I needed to hear! I just commented on your newer post about dread, ,but I’ve seriously been pondering lately HOW to overcome my tendency to put things off…I love this mantra! This is Just What I Do! I think I can use that to stop the chatter and the debate in my head about how I don’t want to do something or other…it’s just what I do…and then get on with it. Thank you for the inspiration!

It’s what I do

That just works on so many levels, but until you articulated it, I never even understood how important it is to form healthy habits. I’ve been getting there slowly over the past few years, but without focus. Coupling this with my words for the year is giving me real impetus – thank you!

Thanks for this timely post. This week my boyfriend’s sister and brother-in-law are staying with us and I find my routine disrupted.

I felt a little guilty going to bed last night at 10pm while they stayed up playing games even though I was the only one who had to be up for work this morning.

Now I realize it’s okay – it’s just what I do – I get enough rest.

This blog was incredible! I’m a free spirit who works from home, so to speak. I didn’t realize how much I depended upon others dictating my schedule until I had to create my own; the more I read CK, the better my vision becomes. Will 2009 be the year that I become as good as my perfect mil?! I see hope, thanks to CK’s practical methods that I’m trying out.

This really resonated with me. Lately, thanks to the shared wisdom of Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Iyanla Vanzant, Jon Kabbat-Zinn, Christine Kane, I’ve developed a mantra that grows in strength each day: I Am. Just This. Now.

It has cut down on some of the crazy multi-tasking I do in my ADD world, brought much peace, less stress and for some reason has unlocked oodles of time that allow me to do things I really enjoy.

For example, in the whirl of breakfast that is all about the coffee, one lunch and two breakfasts, I’m firstly all about the coffee – grinding, boiling, pressing, two to-go cups (to save money – yeah!); then I’m all about the lunch and each breakfast. It all gets done at the same time it used to but without any frenzy. Nice!

On a non-scheduled day, like Saturday when I’m open to whatever happens and have no plans, I’ve even given in to just standing next to the stove while the kettle boils for my tea. Wow! That is a huge experience of centeredness and the peace being aware of being alive brings.
