I was thinking today how great it would be to be bored for one whole day! We are constantly meeting deadlines....getting to appointments....leaving to get somewhere....always, always, always. Then when we finally stop at the end of the day...there is no energy left to do the things that we would call relaxing.....time to just enjoy being.
Balance is so important for us to stay healthy. When we are constantly in thought of "what is next?"...where do I need to be ....what is left on the list for today?.... am I going to get everthing done today?... AND more and more AND more!!!
Setting boundaries and discovering what REALLY needs your attention, then letting go of the rest of the committments, that are not so important are tools that can get you closer to feeling like you have a bit of control over what is going on in your life.
How to accomplish??? Well, give each day the intent to spend a small portion doing something you want to do...even if it is relaxing with music, meditation, reading....just give yourself a few minutes. Get into the practice of allowing just a few minutes a day...you will discover that some of the tasks that seemed to be so very important will lose some of their importance when you give yourself the much needed minutes to just enjoy being!
Give it your best effort.....and enjoy.
