Have you ever given yourself just 15 minutes in your day away?
Have you ever given yourself just 15 minutes in your day away?
- This is 15 minutes of completely uninterrupted time in your own away space.
- The key is to be comfortable with just YOU as company.
- That means that you have to find a place alone where no body will bug you, so by letting everybody know that you are busy and you are not to be disturbed. This includes phones, computer e-mail, etc!
- When you have kids there are interruptions all the time...You have to make sure that this 15 minutes in your day is yours.
This is your away time!
It really is only 15 minutes, but so many people have a difficult time finding it.
*If it is difficult ---Go to the bathroom and lock the door. Somehow people get it when you have to use the bathroom .--- You won't be disturbed.
Or
Do it 15 minutes before you get up in the morning or before you fall asleep.
What do you do in this space and time?
Proper Breathing - Big Step to Happiness
Proper Breathing - Big Step to Happiness
- Breath... Too many of us breath improperly and and that prevents us from getting full cleansing breaths. Instead breaths become short, too fast and not consistent.
- Practice breathing by PAYING ATTENTION...Sit or lie for 10 minutes and PAY ATTENTION to your breaths.
- Slow the breaths down and relax.
Be totally comfortable during the process.
This is actually where you will find you and the process of BEING just YOU!
It is enjoyable and exciting and even sometimes scary for the first timers.
You will get used to this time JUST BEING YOU.
NOW
Just before your time is up think of something that bothered you in the day or is just a pet peeve.
FEEL and PAY ATTENTION...
Your breathing has probably speed up and you have lost touch with relaxation.
Get back to breathing with 20 slow breaths. (1 is a breath in and out and)
I'm going to give you some Homework to do.
- Get yourself your own little note book or journal to call your own.
- Practice paying attention to your breathing during the day.
- Notice when your breaths change.
- When this happens get yourself back and remember to breath slowly to a count of 4 breaths (in and out counts 1)
- Write down when you felt your breathing changed in the day and why.
- Write down your experiences this week in your away space
- Find a perfect away space!
Life is what you make it.
If you make it to your 15 minutes of away space and time--- you are making a good step towards feeling better in your day and most importantly discovering who you really are!
