Perhaps you have heard the phrase, said jokingly, “I need my beauty rest.” But this is no joke. What if, instead of picking up a device or turning to a substance to distract yourself from feeling, you were to pause and breathe deeply. In that moment of rest, you look about you and find one thing of beauty. Do you know how this will open your heart and allow the Life Force to flow more freely? Try it, why don’t you, and we dare say, you will find these beauty rests quite therapeutic.
You are so very loved.
If like me, folks remind you to not be so intense, to “lighten-up”, even when you dont see yourself as being intense. As a matter of fact, i am even told that when i was, as i said, in fact – relaxing. Is even my relaxed state intense? No! It’s just a different state in which the other must have been, otherwise they would have known i was totally relaxed. I will agree that nature gave me a very serious looking face: that does not always project what others think they are seeing.
Yet, for what is likely a silly reason, it bothered me that others could not, or just did not recognize that relaxed state. And yea, i then found myself a bit tensed-up, needlessly… …needlessly turning inward. Humph! Sometimes i catch myself doing that and shake my head.
