Learning to Live

I learned that if you are too busy going with the flow you will lose alot in life. Also if you keep thinking that you need to have and maintain that safe space for peace of mind again you will lose a lot.

I find that on the mornings that I tell myself I need some much needed nap in the train and not bother to read a book, I am wrong. Most of the time, I find that my brain is unable to keep quiet and instead goes AWOL on me in that it thinks far too much.

So I have made a new resolution this end of the year. It entails as follows:

1. Try to take time to rest yes... but when my thoughts renegade on me and start thinking about work, I either stop and picture blue calm beaches with coconut trees with sweet smelling breeze wafting by or that I open my laptop bag and start reading.
2. Buy the damn ipod and bother about the discount that may come in December.
3. Stop rushing through life.
4. Try to live life differently i.e. stop thinking I have no one to be with me. Stop thinking I can't get here and there without a car. I have to start thinking creatively and just do something without thinking too much.
5. Have more ME time like spas and massages and pedicures.
6. Stop rushing! I have to start rushing to eat because I get bored. I have to stop eating mindlessly because of boredom. Instead I need to remember to put down my fork/spoon with every mouthful.
7. Moisturise especially in the night. Stop skimping the lotions because of laziness.
8. Get up early
9. Do some yoga poses - also in the night.
