Hippy talk

[st_martin_a]

Get outside, often.
Slow your pace.
Breathe deeply.
Smile.
And keep watch.

From my book 'Soulfulness' by Brian Draper.
I've finished it.
There's some reminders at the back. Things like:
Make a cup of tea slowly.
Savour it sip by sip.
Do one thing at a time. Be liberated from the panic of task-switching.
Choose your funeral song...choose your funeral song?!
...wow,
Give yourself to the day instead of trying to take from it...

Tomorrow is going to be another cycling day. The weather is supposed to be cooling down so it should be good (and I need more exercise).

Out in the fresh air.

And breathe.

I like those wise words of advice. So often it's difficult for me to slow down, especially in my mind. I'm always going through the tons of things I need to do or should be doing. He loses me on the 'choose your funeral song' bit though. I will eventually, but pretty morbid.

I hope you'll have a peaceful and good cycle ride tomorrow. : )

Good reminders. Living in the moment/living mindfully is supposed to be good for mental health.

...yeah, I can see how that would be.
I'm getting better at it but still have to remind myself now and then.
