Life needs to be balanced and sometimes we forget that. Take time to sow so that you can reap. Take time to relax that your body may rest and not be caught up in constant work and chores.
Laughter is a necessity in life that we do not take it too seriously. We get so busy filling our hours with labor that we live on fast food and quick snacks, forgetting the enjoyment of a well prepared meal and breaking bread together.
Life should not be lived in the last lane, and hurried through, but savored consciously. If work is a necessity, so are quiet times, peace, play and just plain fun.
Time in nature, whether walking the beach or among the trees and flowers is a tonic to the spirit and it rejuvenates us. Schedule these times as seriously as your work, these are times to nourish the soul. Too often we say we are too tired and wonder why we feel emotionally drained, neglecting our spirit is the reason.
Set aside time to meditate and pray, or just to sit quiet within, enjoying the beauty of the sky, the soft caress of a breeze, the kiss of a raindrop and the sounds of nature.
This is your life, a gift given to you not just to work, but to embrace, learn from, to spiritually grow and to honor the self that you were created to be.
Life is a process of wonder, not a highway of things we have to do. Pamper yourself when you feel the need. Relax in a warm scented bath of bubbles, or play music to transport your spirit.
Retreat from time to time, surrounding yourself with beauty of nature, and just breath. Leave your cares at home and clear your mind. We think it isn't possible, but it is.
Too often we neglect to put ourselves on a priority list in our own lives. What purpose is our life if not about our own personal growth? Feed the spirit first and you'll find a more living you to share with others.
