A day of quiet reflection is something that we all need to do. Whether you are sitting quietly, listening to music or actually meditating, looking back is a good practice to start. It is a time that we can remember and set memories. We can think about all that we have accomplished. Success is nothing that we need to shy away from. It is necessary to feel that joy that comes with success.
My personal favourite way of quiet reflection is to has a nice hot bath and listen to music. Being in the warm to hot water helps with my Fibromyalgia, once I get past the shock to the nerves of the heat. Having a chronic illness woke me up. I am unable to do things that used to be super easy before, but because I look back and think about all the things that bring me joy and all of the successes that I have had, it has been preventing me from feeling sorry for myself. I am practicing and creating a good and healthy mindset which prevents me from falling into the pitfalls of depression.
When you start reflecting, allow your brain to open and acknowledge what you hear/think, and let it wash over you. Allow you to heal you. Find a mantra that feels right for you and say it over and over. My mantra is 'Happy Does It.' Give yourself credit. Take a deep breath. If you really want to relax, go on YouTube and find some mindful meditations. Start slow with 8-10 minutes. You would be surprised at how better you feel when you connect your mind, body and spirit.
This post is short for a reason, it is time to reflect. Until tomorrow...
