What’s one of the best things we can do for ourselves? In a word? Just…STOP. Yep, that’s it. STOP.
I know…there’s always a TON of stuff to do, so SO much on our massive checklist! Your plate always seems to stay full–and then some. STILL, that gift we can–and should always give ourselves, no matter what–is to STOP.
You can do it–I know, it may seem impossible, but to be honest, it’s not.
You actually CAN turn away from that back-breaking to-do list. It’s okay…just set it down & leave it alone. Push it aside. Give yourself a break and don’t look at it.
Then…close your eyes, and breathe in. Slowly. DEEPLY.
And take a moment…a minute or two at least, more if you can…and just rest. Again, close your eyes. Breathe in…deeply, slowly. And let that soft calm wave gently wash itself over you, easing you, relaxing you…since you deserve to feel this peace…
And then slowly…open your eyes. Think about anything that makes you feel that you’re fortunate.
No matter how small, let it fill your mind…any way you see that life has blessed you. Even if all of this is just for a moment…that’s okay.
Because it’s priceless…taking that classic advice we’ve probably heard over a thousand times, to just “STOP & smell the roses.”
