Wellness Wednesday

Here is my first post for wellness wednesday. Wellness "the state or condition of being in good physical or mental health: when you come right down to it stress effects ever aspect of wellness." I have spent this past year working on my physical and mental health. I am attempting to add yoga and meditation into my daily routine. With this said, my first recommendation is to relax and meditate.
In the wise words of Pema Chodron
Finally, couldn't we just relax and lighten up? When we wake up in the morning, we can dedicate our day to learning how to do this. We can cultivate a sense of humor and practice giving ourselves a break. Every time we sit down to meditate, we can think of it as training to lighten up, to have a sense of humor, to relax. As one student said,"Lower your standards and relax as it is."

Wow. You have no idea how much I needed to hear this today. Like I'm going about everything I do all wrong..well not everything...but the things that tend to get me down.

Lower your standards...relax as it is... sense of humour...

as the infamous Sgt Hulka said in that movie Stripes..."Lighten up, Francis."

Thank you, Susan!

This is a good idea, and a good challenge for us all to take a step back & do something for ourselves that's actually good for us. Love the artwork, and the concept, it's been added to my challenge list of links on my blog so I remember to actually do it! Thanks for stopping by my blog tonight, and yes, thanks, I am feeling better-the headstone scared it out of me!

This quote was such a deep breath of fresh air. What a great question... Couldn't we just relax and lighten up? Indeed. I think of all the times I rush out of the present moment and jump into tense and worried mode. So much wasted energy. Taking in another deep breath. Thank you dear one!
