NESTING
NESTING is a necessity for a well-balanced life. During our busy lives where each detail of
our day is demanding our attention it is important to push the off button and
stay home for the day. Don’t just stay
home, NEST at home. Turn off your cellular
devices and electronic apps and curl up by the fireplace, pool, or sofa and
enjoy being home. As you begin to notice
your space allow gratitude to settle in around you. Be grateful for what you have. As you
allow the essence of the day to open up to you do whatever it is you want to do
in the comfort of your home. Cook a
great meal or order in Chinese food.
Read, write, even write old-fashion letters to people you have been
meaning to say hello too. Listen to
music, chant, meditate, sing, dance, or relax into a bubble bath. Learning to do nothing but NEST is often a
challenge because you are not use to having a whole day to do nothing but
be. However, if you put a NESTING day in
your calendar once ever six weeks you will learn to look forward to it and you
will enjoy making sure that you have some special things around to help you
enjoy the NESTING day. I suggest having
a basket full of crayons, paper, fun magazines, candles, bubble bath, and teas
to help you move naturally from one thing to another, developing a natural rhythm
for being present and relaxing. Your
NESTING day will recharge you.
