Relax, You Only Live Once
I know that this sounds dumb, but just how much running around have you done already today?
As I write this, I have…
- chopped all the vegetables for tonight’s pizza
- watered all of the plants in the garden
- entered blog entries for nine blogs
- in the middle of researching material for tomorrow’s blog entries
- climbed stairs for 15 minutes straight
- and I’m typing this while taking care of my 10:30 snack (necessary for a diabetic and I’m late!
I could go on, but you get the idea. I haven’t slowed down even once today and I should know better. The minute I finish this entry, I’m going to go to my “meditation room” which is really a spare bedroom, and I’m going to sit quietly and simply breathe for eight minutes and if I can manage it, I’m going to stop thinking.
