Take a moment right now...sit back in your chair, relax your shoulders away from your ears, connect to your breath, breathing in and out of the belly and close your eyes.
Is your life missing the PAUSE button?
Do you ever feel like life keeps moving faster and faster each year?
It's as if time speeds up and the next thing you know another year has passed you by!
As a busy modern day woman, I can relate to this 100%! Managing life, your kid's lives, your to do list, your social life, social media, work, play, your home, your finances, your future etc.. etc... It all just gets a bit overwhelming and very, very time consuming.
When do we have time for just us? When do we get time to PAUSE and check-in? When do we find the time to look at our lives and ask the BIG questions...Am i happy? Am I nourishing my soul? Am I living a life that I LOVE?
Most of us don't, because we have forgotten how to HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON!
Maybe you didn't even realize this was possible for you? Maybe it never occurred to you that you have the ability to PAUSE, take a step back, restore and examine the quality of your life.
We only get one shot to live this life to the fullest! Hitting the PAUSE BUTTON isn't a luxury, its a necessity!
"Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.". ~ Ferris Bueller
Here's a few way's YOU can hit the PAUSE button:
- Where could you go for an hour? Take out your calendar and a piece of paper. List at least ten possible places. There doesn't have to be anything dramatic about the places. They simply need to afford you the chance for one hour of uninterrupted solitude. Get excited about the possibility of time to yourself. Could you go to a park, library, yoga class, car, garden, hammock, mountain top, hiking, biking, Barnes & Noble, or a room of your own? Now SCHEDULE IT!
- Where could you go for an overnight or a weekend? This can be more challenging, but try to come up with five places. Keep your focus on the place, not the list of things you'll need to take care of to get there. Too often we paralyze ourselves with worry about the hurdles before we even allow ourselves to envision the possibility of escape. Making a plan gives you power, and feeling power gives you hope!
Return to your list again and again as you incorporate taking a retreat or pause into your life.
