Take Time to Replenish Your Spirit ?

Today I wanted to touch on something very important but something that many of us (myself included )  tend to overlook or push aside……and that is taking time to take care of ourselves…nurturing and replenishing our inner spirit.

What have you done lately that you thoroughly enjoy and feel wonderful afterwards?

Yoga, Meditation, Walking, Exercise, Read a book, do you enjoy crafts, cooking….it can be something very simple like brushing your dog.  I know I love brushing my dog…I may put off doing it at times but I know that during and afterwards I get a feeling of peace that comes over me and stays with me for some time through the day.

We tend to get so caught up in our work, our everyday lives…just living that we let ourselves get too busy for our own well being.

We have always been told what we should or shouldn’t be doing.  Were you ever told to listen to your heart…your inner self…not too often were we?  If you are feeling overwhelmed, over worked, confused or drained then now is the time to take notice.

I’m a bit of a workaholic since I work from home for myself….I’m my best employee !  Well yesterday my grandaughter was here..she is 7 1/2.  I had some work I had to take care of on my computer…some emails that needed answered…well she comes into my office and asked if I’d go outside with her and watch her ride her bike.  I told her I had a few more minutes of my work to do and then I wanted to clean the dinner dishes up and then we would go.  She went back out in the living room to watch some tv and wait.  I took care of my emails, came out…looked at the dishes and said “ya know what…dishes can wait…lets go outside.”  Big Smile on her face and out we went.  She started riding her bike, I was watching her and I looked over and saw quite a few weeds had grown on the side of the house so I started pulling them.  That sense of peace & calm came over me and I started remembering how much I always enjoyed working in the yard…in the dirt..whether it be planting flowers or pulling weeds.  This was something I rarely did anymore.

What made it even better was my grandaughter quit riding her bike and came over and started helping me……we talked and pulled weeds for about an hour.  We also uncovered a small bed of snapdragons we had planted and that had become totally invisible from weeds.  While rescuing the flowers my grandaughter found a lady bug.  You would have thought she found a million dollars.  I just sat there and enjoyed watching and feeling her excitement at such a little thing.  She is a real nature lover.  It was the most rewarding 60 minutes I had spent that day.

I guess I just want to put a reminder out there to you and others that it can’t be all work…and no play.  You need to not only take care of your physical body with nutrients, exercise and proper rest….you also need to fuel your mind & spirit.  It all works together.  When one is not properly taken care the others will suffer.

So take action today….what fuels you…where do you find that peace?

Spending time with family or friends…Walking/Exercising…Reading a good book…Affirmations…watching a good comedy….listening to your favorite music (I love music !  one of my favorites )

How about taking one day and don’t schedule anything in particular….don’t even look a the clock all day….try that out…you might feel so darn good that you’ll make it a weekly or monthly ritual.

Just sitting for 5-10 minutes and doing some deep breathing can calm and relax you, helping to eliminate any stress and also set your body into a healing mode.

Start today and begin caring for YOU….don’t think you are being selfish becasue YOU MATTER !  and you can’t help anyone else if you are not  feeling wonderful.

Now Go !  Enjoy yourself today…make it a  Good HABIT !

As always I hope this information will be helpful to you.

Stay safe, healthy & happy !

Healthy & Prosperous Blessings to you,
