I went to a yoga class this morning and with every inhale and exhale our breath was guided by Peace, Joy, Love & Compassion. I was at such ease when I left that I felt to share my experience with you.
Mantra for the Day:
I am Peace
I am Joy
I am Love
I am Compassion
Breathe in…
Peace
Joy
Love
Compassion
Breathe out…
Peace
Joy
Love
Compassion
Repeat as needed.
‘Til next time, thanks for reading & Keep on Breathing! 🙂
How many of you are addicted to Social Media? Is it difficult to keep your phone off? When was the last time you took a picture without instantly wanting to upload it to a Social Network?
Well, what if for a few days around the holidays, you did something a little different? Like ‘unplug’, detach, leave the phone at home?
As a business owner, it can be tempting to want to constantly keep everyone up to date, to make sure I’m not missing anything in the business world.
At the end of the day, all we have is that day. And often times we spend it online, instead of having face-to-face engaging conversations. And sometimes, we’ll be out with our friends, and still focusing on our phones, rather than our friends, completely missing the point why we got together in the first place!
And as I have mentioned about my new ‘Living More, Working Less’ mantra, this fits in nicely.
Do you think you can unplug?
Give yourself a break! For those of us who remember what it was like before the internet, I’m sure we could do it! 😉
One of the ways I love to unplug is by traveling. Even though many airlines have Wi-Fi in the sky, I love the opportunity to shut everything down, and read a book! Get out of my home and live! Visit countries I’ve never been to before and have an adventure in the unknown!
According to some of the tips in “Allow Yourself to ‘Unplug’ This Holiday Season“, I actually had the battery in my watch replaced so I could tell time without my phone. I also bring a regular camera that does not have internet/sharing capabilities. So, that’s how I begin to unplug. Further, smartphones become very costly to use overseas, so I turn data off and only use it in areas with Wi-Fi.
So anyone up for unplugging? Maybe you’ll decide you’d like to start living more…
Just a thought…
‘Til next time, thanks for reading and Happy Dreaming! 🙂
LEI LESSON: Go With The Flow!
(And honor your body!)
My body said REST, I said I needed yoga.
Because I was the ONLY one who showed up, the class was canceled.
I took this picture on my way home.
As I sat outside, I said, “Ok Universe, you got me.”
Like the clouds moving across the sky, the trees blowing in the wind, and the Taro growing in the field, just go with the flow.
Who needs a Dance Break? Get up from your desk, the couch, your bed (if you’re not asleep already) and DANCE! This 2013 Pop Song Mashup is great! You might find yourself singing along, and getting down in your jammies! Kudos to Daniel Kim and his “Pop Danthology!”
Stop. Breathe. Be.
(This applies to any time of year, and any day!)
Generally speaking, Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, lots of food, football, parades, and a long weekend off from work. Over the years, that time off has become about a shopping frenzy for the holidays.
Spend, spend, spend, get up EARLY, or go to bed early afternoon, and rest later. And now you have the “benefit” of never leaving your home so you can spend your day off online, spending as much as possible.
Here’s a thought, Stop. Breathe. Be.
Just because there are sales, it doesn’t mean you have to shop. If you have Friday off from work, take the day off. Chill out, sleep in, do the dishes later.
If you do decide to shop, have a plan, and when you’re done shopping for others, make sure you get something for yourself.
I have a rule when I shop, “Love It or Leave It.”
If I’m on the fence, it stays in the store. This will help you get through your list. (And whenever you shop.)
Stop, Breathe, Be is for everyone, wherever you are in the world, whether you are celebrating Thanksgiving, Chanukah, any other holiday OR coming upon time off from work.
You deserve to live a life that rewards you. You deserve to live a life that you are excited to wake up to. You deserve to live a life that flows with your breath.
Inhale, 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.
Exhale. 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.
Repeat.
#Stop #Breathe #Be
