Sydney J. Harris' quote reminds us that relaxation cannot wait until we have completed all our tasks or until external circumstances have calmed down. Instead, the art lies in finding a moment of calm in the midst of the hustle and bustle.
Soul Sunday (of course it can be any other day of the week) offers the perfect opportunity to follow this invitation. It is a day on which we consciously create time for ourselves and allow ourselves to relax, even if the world around us is demanding a lot. We should practice the magic word NO to certain things that drain our energy if we say YES too much.
A little reminder today: What about your personal well-being challenge ?
And when the little voices in your head try to interrupt again, answer them lovingly: "It's okay to cultivate a healthy egoism. After all, relaxing regenerates your energy."
Make it pretty
Christian
