Mutter, mutter. “It’s too much!” Grumble, grumble. “What, is she crazy?” Snort, snerk. “Trying to find time to relax just makes me more stressed out.”
Okay, maybe an hour a day is too much to ask. (I’m referencing last week’s message.) As a wise friend said when I complimented her on her consistent appearance at yoga class, “As soon as I decided that one yoga class a week was enough, and stopped thinking I should be taking two, it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders. Now I come to class gladly instead of having to force myself.”
So, while it’d be nice to take an hour day for quiet, alone time, you are the only one who truly knows what is best for you, in your life, at this time. Make an honest assessment – no guilt trips, no excuses – and see how that feels. And take the time to notice all the little hors d’oeuvres of joy and delight that present themselves during your day, and enjoy the moment.
Om shanti. Peace.
