Spend some time this holiday weekend outdoors. The weather is lovely a sunshine is good for your physical and mental health – plus, at least in the UK and US, it’s a long weekend! Enjoy the time, you deserve a break and some fun!
Long weekends are perfect for hangouts.
Today is World Meditation Day. You don’t have to be a Buddhist or a master yogi to reap the benefits from a few moments of silence. Meditation has been found to improve your health, reduces inflammation, increases your capacity for compassion and can even improve your brain! The positive effects of regular meditation have been well documented for nearly two thousand years and have been verified by recent science. So give it a go, perhaps start with just two minutes and see where it takes you! You never know, you just might become even better friends with yourself.
“There is nothing greater than the delight of sitting, just sitting in silence with nothing to do” – Carol Trevor
Find someone in this world who you can rest your head on. At the end of the day, a good partner is someone who supports you no matter what, even if you need to take a nap using them as your pillow for a bit.
A good friend will always have a place for you.
Sometimes in our fast paced world, it can be hard to allow yourself to relax. Finding a place of calm, let alone maintaining a general state of calm can be really difficult between all of our many deadlines and obligations. That is why, today I am inspired by Freddie the Llama from The Haven Zoo. Freddie is not a goat, but is today’s honorary goat of the day for his totally chill attitude and cool demeanor. Whether he is enjoying some sunshine or hanging with his caprine friends, this camelid knows how to go with the flow.
Freddie is cool.
Can you believe that we are already six weeks into 2019? Hopefully the year has treated you well, you have got your routine down and accomplished some beginning of the year goals. Perhaps today just take some time to relax and be content. Another new week is upon us and the best way to guarantee a fresh start is a stress-free Sunday!
Looking forward to a fantastic week!
Happy Valentine’s Day to all who celebrate – and if not here are a couple of goats hanging out in Haryana. Every day is a great day to eat chocolate and enjoy the people in your life who matter most. I’m grateful for my partner who took a break from doing science to send me today’s photo ❤️
Everything is so competitive these days, from parenting to the office to the gym to the kitchen, it can be exhausting. I say, rather than run yourself ragged, take a break from the competition, relax and sit back. You aren’t as behind the self-aggrandizers as it may seem, and can do what you love better after a recharge. Enjoy the weekend y’all.
Saturdays are a wonderful time to slow down and have a nice, long sit.
We are now nearly two weeks into 2019. Hopefully, at some point between the holiday festivities, embarking on resolutions and returning to work, you have carved out some much-needed time for rest. Although for many of us (myself included) it is hard not to fill every moment with seemingly important tasks, there are many benefits to devoting ourselves to relaxation. Rest can enhance creativity, productivity and focus. Setting aside time for regular rest can also reduce stress, inflammation and your risk of heart disease. Your sleep and immune system will get a boost from the reduction in sleep. So, never feel guilty for indulging in a lazy Sunday – it will make you a happier, healthier, more creative version of yourself!]
Rest today for a more productive and energized tomorrow!
Whew, and with that the festive season is over – we have made it through the first week of the year, children return to school tomorrow, and it is officially time to get back to business so to speak. Have a moment to sit, relax and regroup before the next week begins.
Looking forward to the week ahead!
Yo, it is the last Saturday of 2018, sit down, relax, have a delicious beverage, and ruminate on the year.
The final weekend of 2018 is an excellent time to relax and reflect.
