I'm back!
I have decided to get back into the habit of blogging! I don't know if anyone out there in cyber space will read this, but at the very least it's therapeutic for me...
During the holiday season, we get so damn busy and bombarded. From ending one year to planning for the next, there is a lot of energy and emotion in the air. And when we are busy, we tend to forget about self care and rest. Something I have been thinking of lately is the active participation in being PASSIVE. As they say- sometimes the best response is no response.
Can we find a moment of stillness when we feel the chaotic pressure of the season?
Right now, possibly more than any other time of the year, it is vital to connect with your meditation and find the power of rest. Instead of filling up your calendar with appointments and to-do lists, can you put aside some time just for you? Which might look like 15 minutes of snuggle time with your pets, maybe a 30 minute meditation, reading a book, or taking a phone-free walk. Treat yourself through the small indulgences of life. Find pleasure in simplicity and knowing that you don't always have to be doing something. It is so worth it to take time for you. When you are able to be more passive, and less active, you might just find more energy later on when you need it most.
So, my friends- I encourage you, I challenge you, to rest and nest. Find strength in being passive. Not every moment needs our active attention. Allow yourself to drift and dream and breathe and be. Be content in the non-doing.
Be well.
Namaste,
Patsy
