Sometimes we can get so wrapped up in our
thoughts that we wind up going around and around in circles, finding it
difficult to concentrate on things and, because we are so distracted, not
really accomplishing much. There may be signals -- mental, emotional, or
physical -- that tell us we need to slow down and relax. Since we are so
involved in things that are external to us, however, we may easily overlook
what is really going on inside of us. It is during these times that we need
to step back from the things that occupy our minds and take a moment to
connect with our inner self, giving our minds, bodies, and spirits the time
they need to re-energize and heal.
At first it may seem that by taking a break, we may not be as productive as
we would initially like. In reality, a healthy period of rest is something
that gives us a real sense of the unlimited nature of our true potential.
Spending a couple of minutes walking outside, doing a few yoga poses,
meditating, or simply becoming attuned to the rising and falling of our
breath enables us to let go of our worries. This act brings our focus back to
the things that are truly essential for us, such as our sense of oneness with
the universe and our inner peace and well-being. As we begin to get in touch
with this part of ourselves, we will find that our usual everyday troubles
and worries become less critical and that we not only have much more room in
our lives to really reflect on the issues that mean the most to us, but we
are also able bring a much more positive and healthy outlook to the rest of
our lives.
Giving ourselves respite from our daily concerns is like giving a gift to
ourselves. By stepping away from the problems that seem to saturate our
thoughts, we lessen the weight of our troubles and instead become more
receptive to the wisdom and answers the universe has to offer us.
