“Women need real moments of
solitude and self-reflection to
balance how much of ourselves we give away.” ~ Barbara De Angelis
Good
morning!
I received a
note from a reader with this message:
I
came to
an epiphany that being peacefully connected to that inner authentic
self
centers me and directs me in how to be the best woman, mother, and wife
I can
be. Spending that
time to sit, listen,
and center is invaluable.
August 15 is
celebrated as Relaxation Day. Holiday
Insights offers these top ten ideas
to enjoy on Relaxation Day:
***Do nothing
today.
***Go to a spa.
***Go fishing.
***Play a round
of golf (caution: not always relaxing).
***Lounge around
in a hammock.
***Take a bubble
bath.
***Spend the day
at the beach.
***Go to the
movies.
***Do a little
gardening (no heavy-duty work, though).
***Have a picnic
in the park.
Your Turn:
This week,
schedule three ten-minute times to do nothing but center yourself
quietly. Play some
soft music and let yourself get
lost in it. Observe
your breathing, your
body. Let a moment
of simplicity envelop
you and refresh your spirit.
Today’s Affirmation: I
celebrate silence.
And as always, don't forget
to
start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is
going to
happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"
And when ending
your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do
to
make today matter?
