Take a good look at the word “mindlessness” – does it have a negative or positive ring to you? Imagine for a minute a space or place where you have no agenda: you simply empty out and do no thing… nothing.
We perform countless tasks throughout our day, many of them leaving us emotionally, mentally and physically exhausted…how do we sustain our pace without any real breaks?
Then, I think, how shortsighted we can all be by not creating the space we need right where we are, not just on annual vacations. We can claim the opportunity – every day – to stop the madness, slow down, close our eyes, be grateful and simply breathe: each of us can create our own ritual.
Shut the computer down, recycle the newspaper, cut the live feeds of all the bad news on television and let go…it is more than a notion, I know…and you know too. However, this week, twice each day, try giving yourself a mini-vacation at your home…something, anything small – make it special.
Take a break, now…
