REST TO RESET
Dear Empress,
I am tempted to wish you a happy New Year because even though it’s only July, it feels like we have gone through a full leap year (and a half). It’s been an overpacked, overwhelming, over everything, 6 months….to say the least! Phew!!!!
It’s also very tempting to write this 2020 off and just ride it out till Christmas. I know some of us have apologized profusely to 2019 (I mean, we honestly took it for granted) and we are already planning our Christmas and New Year outfits (Like, we are done, DONE!), but here’s a FACT- You are still here and you still have 6 more months to turn this year around in your favor.
We are faced with 3 options;
a) remain in the past and continue to sulk about everything that appears to be going wrong,
b) be in denial and do what most of us did in 2019 and start daydreaming about how 2021 will turn out better or
c) Make the most of your today, take charge and realize you are still here for a reason, find that reason and live a life of purpose, enjoying the gift of Now!
This is not just about being optimistic or positive, it is about realizing that you were made for times as these.
As CEO of your Home, You are A Powerhouse! An Engine Room!! A Force!!! And just like any Engine you use non-stop and rely on, we have to shut them down to let it rest or the alternative is they break down and we have to incur repair or even replacement costs.
Another perspective is our beloved technological devices (or what you are using to read this). Most Phones, Tablets or Laptops come equipped with a reset function, which, when activated, a device that was earlier performing slow or unresponsive, dramatically starts operating as good as new…but there is a catch!
It needs to be shut down for a while. Hmmmmn!
That brings me right back to you! You need to dedicate time for Rest…to RESET…ultimately to be REFRESHED AND RENEWED!!!
I know there is always that one last thing you need to do but the reality is we are constantly tending to ‘last things’, it never ends. There has never been a better time for You to retreat, Rest and Reflect! Do this for you! Plan a get-together for your mind and body! And let’s see this beautiful year to an even more beautiful ending! Everything you wished for is still possible! All your dreams are still valid, even with a chance to grow.
Thankfully, love, joy, peace, happiness, growth and the ability to dream (even bigger) all depend on you, and no virus, socio-economic, political and environmental situation can change that.
Now is the time to ask yourself, probably one of the most viral questions of our time; ‘Is your Glass (Year) half-full or half-empty?’
Looking forward to hearing all about your 2020 success stories….but first, REST TO RESET!!!
