I have been off balance for a couple of weeks now. Not practicing my morning routine as I wrote about in my post Peace Among The Trees, has really caught up with me. I have been feeling a lot of frustration and anxiety going through the daily grind without taking my “Om” time as I call it. “Om” time is the quite time I take in the morning to pray, meditate, say my mantras, state my intentions, listen to something uplifting and think positive thoughts.
If I do not take this time out to start my day, I feel I am off to a bad start. I know in order for me to be healthy and have healthy relationships with my loved ones, I need to revamp when my mind is feeling chaotic. When I am tired, filled with worry, and overwhelmed, I can get snappy. I need to get back to being centered in order to maintain my physical and mental well-being which has a ripple effect on everyone around me.
This short post, is also to remind you to nurture yourself. Take time throughout the day to close your eyes, take some deep breaths and clear your mind. Set aside 30 minutes each day to do an activity you love…exercise, read a book, chill at a coffee shop, go for a leisure walk in the park…whatever it takes to make you feel rejuvenated, balanced and alive again!
Balance your life and enjoy your journey!!
I learned a few years ago that balance is the key to a happy and successful life, and a huge part of achieving that balance is to instill rituals into your everyday life – a nutritious balanced diet, daily exercise, time for yourself through meditation, reading, journaling, yoga, daily reflection, and setting goals.
