What is relaxation to you? Are you cleaning? Clearing out a closet? Cooking? Baking? Or are you doing what my quote says, "When all you can do is look out the window - relax and reflect." I believe that the Universe gave us a snowstorm to force all of us to relax! I'm not kidding. When do we ever get this chance? We are all always so busy running here there and everywhere. Doing chores, taking care of others. When do we get a chance to take care of us?
A day where you cannot leave the house if not a bad thing. I understand that there are those who simply cannot sit still but now is the time to learn. Now is the time to learn what it is to really chill.
Look at this day as a gift - of course not just this day but everyday! It is absolutely gorgeous out there and if you simply find a comfy chair to sit in and watch the snow come down, then I think you will be totally productive. Where are your thoughts going to go? Are you going to think about one thing you need to do? Are you going to think about a million things at once? Or are you really just going to look out the window?
Try an experiment today. If you do choose to sit in that chair and look outside - grab a note pad and write down any thought that comes to mind. Don't judge it - just write it down. Write down every thought that comes to mind. Give yourself time. There are no limits especially on a day like today. Sit there for 10 minutes or an hour. Whatever is comfortable for you.
After you write down all your thoughts - close the book and look at them later today. You may or may not surprise yourself but I will tell you this. By giving yourself permission to reflect without judgement you will feel a definite release. So whatever it is you choose to do today - however you choose to spend your time. Relax in the way you want, reflect in the way you want and relish in the beauty of a winter storm! Have a wonderful day!~Love, Amy
