In this moment

In this moment
I am love
Filled with guidance from up above…

In this moment
I have all I need
Enjoying life abundantly…

In this moment
I am clothed
Adorned with the beauty that nature holds…

In this moment
I look around
Giving thanks as I walk this ground…

In this moment
I am fed
And I have a place to lay my head…

In this moment
My heart sings
Of the love and joy each moment brings…

In this moment
I am whole
Balanced and harmonized within my soul…

In this moment
I shall be
Connected with all and yet still me…

Relaxation is important to my well-being. I take a night off each month to do something I enjoy because I know this leads to greater health and productivity. When I work, I do so with all my heart, and when I relax, I allow myself to be equally present and engaged with the activity at hand.

Sometimes I choose to watch a movie with friends. Sometimes I relish a hike through the woods. Other times, I simply prefer to stay home, curled up with a book.

Whatever I choose to do, taking time for myself renews my energy. When I go back to my routine tasks, I find myself more focused and productive, with a better perspective on the stressors in my life.

I am better able to deal with challenges that come up in my daily life when I have time set aside for relaxation. I am unapologetic about taking this time out because I know relaxation makes me a better person, more competent and better able to meet the needs of those around me when I return.

It doesn’t matter what others tell me is a good use of my relaxation time. The point is that I, myself, thoroughly enjoy whatever I am doing and I engage in my own personal relaxation wholeheartedly, without guilt.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. What do I enjoy doing most?
2. When was the last time I allowed myself to do something relaxing just for myself?
3. Which upcoming evening can I plan to set aside for relaxation and fun?
