A reminder {for myself}




Walk slowly. {You will still get there in the end}.

Breathe deeply. {And let it all out}.

Notice when your day is rushed. {Then stop and be still}.

Meditate each day. {Even for just a minute}.

Tune in to your heart. {Love yourself}.

Spend time in nature. {Take your shoes off, and connect with the Earth beneath you}.

Stomp, dance, walk, stretch, run, skip. {Let your body move}.

Find one thing to be grateful for each day. {And give thanks}.

Really look at the world around you. {Choose to see love}.

xx

{After last week and its challenges, this reminder I wrote for myself at the start of the year has been on my mind xx}


What's on your mind? Anything you need to remind yourself of right now?

  5. For me the breathing is the start and finish of it all falling into place - when I'm doing those silly little breaths nothing goes right!
    Oh and deciding to make choices based on love

  9. I would tell myself to - stop worry about the little things and soak up messy fun days with my little ones. Don't stress the small stuff ;-)
    Great post, love your thoughts
