This week's planner prompt is to reflect on a time that you truly felt relaxed and at peace. What contributed to that feeling? How can you bring that feeling into your everyday life?
Well, it was probably when I was well rested and had a massage and chiropractor visit on the same day. Any day where I don't have to clean the house. Days where I feel like I've accomplished my to-do list. Oh, I went for a hike last weekend, just me and my dog. No whining kids. No other people around. The first 3.5km were great. Quiet, peaceful. The last 2km I may have been a bit whiny (seriously, how many uphills can there possibly be at the end of a hike?), but the feeling of accomplishment afterwards was worth it.
Every day, though? I could see myself trying to check off more daily tasks. Not all of them, but pick one that will be satisfying to complete each day, even if it's just walking the dog. Maybe I'll put myself in a time-out for five minutes each day.
Or maybe I'll just take a moment to sit in the car for a minute before driving (it is warm-up-the-car weather right now), and eat a chocolate that no one knows about.
