Takin’ it Easy
Nov 17th, 2008 by Alana
Never get too hungry, angry, lonely or tired (halt).
In the hustle and busyness of the holiday season, it’s so easy to get fatigued, to be grumpy or to feel lonely or put upon. It helps when I remember to make a choice as often as I can rather then let my life run away from me. When I choose to… take a nap instead of powering through a project, put off an errand to take a walk with the dog, sit down with a snack and leaf through a magazine…I’m training myself to take it easy.
And the best part? My relaxed, happy mood is contagious.
You’re so very welcome! I had to remember on today’s walk to stay calm after Tulip ran into the bog and got all wet and muddy which means I add a dog bath to my to-do list today. She had so much fun, a bath is not too high of a price.
Alana…
Great advice and especially at this time of year!
It’s a daily battle to slow down for a lot of us… to take a few breaths and unwind.
I treat myself by going to the gym nearly every day. It’s amazing what it has done for my coping skills and outlook!
Of course naps are pretty special too………………..
