Taking Time

Do one thing today that you truly, completely, whole-heartedly enjoy. Indulge one or all of your senses, if only for one minute. This is especially fulfilling if you have a hectic day ahead. Take time for at least one minute to yourself. Savor something you love, be it a tasty treat, a brisk (or leisurely) walk, a quick phone call to someone special or feast your eyes on a beloved work of art. Even if your favorite art is on the other side of the planet in, let’s say, the Louvre, modern technology allows us to google whatever our heart desires in milliseconds from wherever we may be… in a cubicle, at home, in public, so google your favorite masterpiece and get momentarily swept away! Any positive sensory indulgence can help recharge your energy. Be creative. This simple and free action can be that little life raft in the middle of your crazy busy ocean that you can enjoy all to yourself. You can plan your oasis break in advance or dive into it spontaneously at any point during your day. Think of it as a little gift to yourself. Just have fun with it, unwind and enjoy…

    Or as our aussie cartoonist, Leunig, puts it: “It’s worth doing nothing and having a rest.” Timely reminder, Ainsley, as I’m about to launch into the day!
