Don’t freak out. I’m still happily married to Peter Donn! Its just that for the last few weeks I have been very preoccupied with a particular rose bush I meet on my walk to the allotment. The flowers are exquisite with colours ranging from the newly opened vibrant yellow to the more mature pale yellow roses with a pale pink tinge. What really fills me up is the intoxicating aroma that I struggle to wrench myself away from. By now I am familiar with each flower intimately and have realised that its the smell of the newly open young roses that sends me to an aromatic heaven!
I always pause to take time to enjoy and appreciate this moment which brings so much gratitude for nature, the allotment and my ability to get so much pleasure from such a simple thing.
Pausing, creating time for yourself and being grateful are essential elements for my life. I once heard some wise words:
Every day take some minutes for yourself
Every week take some hours for yourself
Every month take a day for yourself
Every few months take a weekend for yourself
Every year take a week for yourself
When you take time out for yourself, you have so much more to offer others be it taking care of family, running a business or general juggling of life.
Here are some suggestions on how you can take time out for yourself:
Very regularly:
Stop to smell the roses!
Meditate
Exercise
Go for a walk
Do a round of EFT every morning and evening
Weekly-Monthly:
Have an Epsom salt bath
Give yourself a foot spa and/ or massage
Attend a class that feeds your soul
Have a massage
Receive an EFT session
Go out for a nice meal with friends
Every so often:
Book a weekend or week away
Learn a new skill or tool to support your journey. For EFT courses, check here.
I would love to hear what brings you pleasure in your life. What do you appreciate and how do you create space to pause and be in your daily life?
