Take Good Care of Yourself

Life is so busy. No matter what your situation in life, you are probably very busy. Probably too busy. This is just a little reminder to each one of us to slow down, recognize our blessings, experience gratitude, and talk to each other. It all starts with the thoughts we think. Before you dismiss this article and begin to make a mental list of the reasons you can't slow down, at least not right now; just take a moment to think. Think about how you could take a couple minutes for yourself right now. Stop what you're doing. Stretch. Smile. Breathe. Then make a little plan. Plan to go for a walk, a leisurely walk where you notice things and appreciate what you notice. Plan to give yourself a pedicure. Plan to take a relaxing bath while looking at a favorite magazine. Plan to sing out loud or dance when no one is looking, or even when they are. Plan to pamper yourself. Then with all that planning, decide on one of your ideas and implement it. Don't worry. Life will wait for you. In fact, life doesn't mind waiting at all. It's just there wanting you to slow done and notice it a little more.
