Monday Morning Reflection

Most often we get so busy we forget to do things for ourselves........we consider it selfish, or even a waste of time........but there is great life benefit in taking care of ourselves. We become better people and better partners in life. So, be selfish and plan ahead. Plan it though. We get so busy that we will forget if we don't think ahead. This list from mysticmiss was a good starting point...........make your own list and watch for transformation. I'm going to meditate on this list and make up my own and will post tomorrow.........how about you?

Life changing tips
Posted on June 12, 2008 by mysticmiss
I love life and wouldnt give up the opportunity to be here for quids!! But its not always easy for me to feel joy and contentment in the hustle and bustle of modern day life.

Life is so fast paced these days, all go go go and sometimes I feel completely overwhelmed by it all. I have been asking myself how can I try to live my life with inner peace and joy when all around me is a seemingly chaotic world?

Structure! it seems has been the key for me. Putting structure in my life is helping me to feel a sense of balance, a sense of calm and a greater sense of wellbeing.

Here is a brief outline of what I have structured into my life. As we are all precious individuals, we each have our loves, financial buget & time frame to work with. If for instance your budget will not allow for a monthly massage, then consider scheduling one every 2,3 or 4 months and if time doesnt allow you a meditation space everyday for 30mins then consider 2 or 3 times a week or even once a week.

The key is structure, so its more about consistancy. Hope there’s some ideas here to inspire you.
Until Next time
