So as I take this journey trying to figure out how this blog should look, what I should write about, I just ask for your patience. So right now what I would like to do is share a video that I think everyone could benefit from. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/nightline-fix-abc-news/long-journey-becoming-10-percent-happier-143145889.html?vp=1
I completely agree that everyone should take time "hang out with yourself". Whether it is your quiet time, yoga, meditation, etc. In this world of cell phones, email, instagram, twitter, TV, ipads, your mind never stops. It is now easier in this day and age to distract and busy yourself, then actually take time to sit and be still. Crazy huh? Before I saw this video I had committed to taking 5 minutes a day to have "down" time. My only rules are -no electronics, -no other people, and -NO to do lists. You know what I mean, you sit down to do you quite time or relax and then 10 minutes later all you did was use that time to make lists of what you should be, should have or forgot to do.
These 5 minutes should be your rejuvenation time and if I am completely honest it's not easy. But the key thing, it is worth it. I think about it like working out. Why you may ask? Well because we all know working out is good for us, yet we whine, moan and find every excuse not to do it. But 90%n (probably more but I am giving us all a little grace) of the time, what happens after you do it.... Yup, you know I am right, you feel better. Well I promise you, same goes for your "hang out with yourself" time. I have found that after that time, I am a happier, more balanced, more joyful individual. So, I challenge you to try it for one week. If it doesn't work for you then you have wasted what, 35 minutes? So half of a Real Housewives show. :) I think you can spare it. Who knows it could change your whole day or maybe even life.
love love love y'all,
K
