Yesterday my yoga teacher said to try to find maybe ten minutes in the next week to relax from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. My thought is to take at least one full minute every day to do nothing except be quiet and relax. It doesn't seem like much, but it may change the course of your day for the better. We are human beings, not human "doings," although we usually live our lives as though doing was the most important thing.
Let me suggest the Three O's.
Observe - the situation.
Oxygen - take a deep breath.
Oh.
Of course we want to observe and enjoy the holiday season to the most. I love the festive lights of this time of year (it seems to help make up for the short, cold, drab days). I love the spirit of giving (and receiving) and the music and the get-togethers.
And, let's take time to relax, breathe, smile, and thank God for love and joy this season. Just a few seconds or minutes to revitalize our spirits.
