How often do we wish that we had ‘just half an hour to do nothing’. In our minds we are whisked away to some far off island with a coconut in one hand and a pile of books beside us. We are hardwired to think that we can only relax when we go away. Constantly told that our lives are meant to be stressful and that being busy is always a sign of success.
However, being busy doesn’t necessarily equal success, neither does remaining in a state of stress. Our journey into our true and most vibrant selves involves filtering through the fear of not being viewed as hard working enough. Often when we pile our schedules full of things to do and people to meet, we are falling into the trap of choosing other people’s views over our own happiness.
Now one thing you can do, to safeguard your time and space is to really hold on to that which is truly important. In each moment or decision take a second to think “does this serve me, or will it only add pressure”. Looking at our lives in this way enables us to reduce the amount of perceived stress, and we are able to gain greater clarity in our minds as to what is truly needed.
We hope this helps you in some way, remember to treat your life as something beautiful and special. Treasure it and nourish yourself in every way.
Much Love,
