The quieter you
become—the more
you will hear.

he smell of freshly cut grass, experiencing a sunrise over the horizon
and the sound of frogs croaking. These three bits of nature help me
meditate. Let me explain…
Honestly, I struggle with how to meditate. For some reason, it has been
elusive to me. I have even tried a few apps to help me but it was a recent article
on how to practice different forms of mediation that provided an easy tool for
me. The author suggested focusing on three simple things as outlined below:
1. Something you smell.
2. Something you see.
3. Something you hear.
I decided to practice this while on my morning walks around our Kentucky property. I love
it because you don’t have to shut your mind off (something I simply cannot master), you
just have to narrow in and become aware of what surrounds you. This easy exercise really
takes me back to gratitude, and how grateful I am to have the ability to smell, see and hear
such amazing things.
The world can feel scary at times, but if we all take a moment to pause and focus on one
thing, we can change our perspective in an instant to the beauty that surrounds us. What
are you focusing on?
