I slow down and enjoy life. I do one thing at a time. Giving my full attention to what I am doing reduces stress and gives me superior results.
I take relaxing breaks. I refresh my body and mind. I drink a cup of tea and chat with coworkers in between meetings. I go for a walk or do static stretches when I have been sitting at the computer for a long time.
I read long novels and in-depth news articles. I connect with the characters and immerse myself in the story. I learn valuable information and gain insights into current events.
I savor my food. I notice the flavors, and textures. I enjoy preparing my favorite dishes from scratch. I set the table and sit down for meals with my family and friends.
I appreciate nature. I spend time outdoors. I drink my morning coffee on my patio and take fitness classes in local parks.
I find beauty in ordinary things. I smell flowers and listen to wind chimes. I sleep under warm blankets and soft sheets.
I laugh and play. I find the humor in difficult situations. I watch funny movies and cat videos. I share jokes online.
I take time to pray. I participate in a spiritual community where I can find mutual support and discuss my beliefs. I read inspiring texts and apply the lessons to my daily life.
Today, I do less and accomplish more. I move at a deliberate and moderate pace.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. How can I make my leisure time more enjoyable and fulfilling?
2. Where do I like to go to relax?
3. What kind of music helps me to slow down?
