G is for RE-GROUND

There comes a time when you need to return to basics. Life can seem overwhelming and tasks can seem never-ending.

We can get so caught up in all the gossip and negative information that is coming at us from all sides. Wouldn’t it be nice to take a few deep breaths and enjoy something positive? Uplifting?

You need a time out. To RE-GROUND your SELF.

Don’t worry…the tasks will still be there waiting for you. Life will still be busy, however, you’ll feel more centered and less harried.

The challenge for today…or for the next 20 days to be exact is to take specific 5 minute breaks…..awareness breaks. Scatter them throughout your day and your week whenever you can wherever you are.

This activity will require a small journal or pieces of paper. Get as creative and colorful as you dare.

Start off by thinking about what it is that makes you SMILE.

It could be a person, place, thing, event, trip, memory, idea…anything and everything.

Each day for 20 days write down 5 things that make you smile. The trick is…no repeats. Each day has to have 5 new and different things than you wrote down yesterday.

By the end of the 20 days you will have 100 things that make you smile in some form or fashion.

You can write a single word or whole paragraph for each entry. Whatever floats your boat.

Acknowledge the parts of you that make you happy. Celebrate them. Cherish them.

Until we meet again…have a GRATIFYING day!
