Can we really believe that it is May already? Even
though it might have sneaked up on us, who isn't ready for a little
sunshine and green trees? What happens to most of us, however, is an
increase in the amount of projects on our to do list. We want to remind
you to add to that to do list one thing - Take Care of Self!
| SIMPLE LIFE TIP - Remember to Take Time for You |
 |
As we come out of our caves to enjoy the sunshine
and new growth around us, we also see everything that needs to be done
outside. In some instances, we are doubling our to do lists, by adding
on all of the outside care and maintenance of our space.
We at Clear & SIMPLE™ are no different - while
there is the mandatory lawn mowing, flower planting and plant trimming,
there is also the benefit of longer days which entice us to spend more
time out of doors. Instead of just adding to your list of projects,
take time to identify those things that would make you feel healthier
and more rested. Using See It • Map It • and Do It™ allows you to get
it done and have fun while doing it. |
| SEE IT |
|
Look around you, while you are identifying all
those things that you think need to be done, think about what you can
do to rejuvenate yourself in this time of renewal and growth. Taking
care of self is always something that we tend to put off until
something hits us upside of the head!
While you might be seeing the lawn that needs to
be mowed, or the flower garden that needs to be weeded, also think
about how good a fresh tomato would taste, or walking barefoot in the
grass, or reading in the hammock. In other words, think about those
types of activities that would rejuvenate you! |
| MAP IT |
|
 Now, write down all the fun things that come to
mind. Just do a "brain dump". You can do this as an individual or as a
family.
Some ideas to get you started are a long walk at
sun-
up or sun-down. Picking fresh vegetables from your garden or a farmers
market. Enjoying a bar-B-que with friends under your new outdoor table.
A massage after a long week at work. A pedicure for sandal season.
Having the time to read out under a tree or in a hammock. Taking that
yoga or meditation class.
|
| DO IT |
|
|
 Once you have defined what it is you want to do,
make time to do it! If that means you have to make an appointment with
yourself, pencil it in. If it means you have to make an appointment
with a professional, call now!
Allow yourself time for self care every week this
summer. Most of us hit the sidewalk running and never slow down till
the snow flies. This year take time to walk barefoot in the grass!
HAVE FUN!
