Читать книгу Going Back to Basics - Marcia Wieder - Страница 5

There is a deeper process of taking care of ourselves. It starts with an honest “check in.” Where are you now with your needs and wants? And what, if anything, are you going to do about it? This is a good place to begin.

Consider starting with some real quiet time. I don’t mean a few minutes in the elevator or in the bathroom between appointments, but quality quiet time. When you first wake up, either in bed or over your morning coffee or tea, try spending ten minutes checking in with yourself.

Take inventory, but do it with your heart. Ask your heart and your body how they feel and what they need. Ask yourself what would bring you joy today. Practice being still, being quiet and listening for answers. Practice tuning in and listening to your heart.

He says, “Peace of mind is our single goal.”

Here are the symptoms of inner peace (author unknown): • A tendency to think and act deliberately, rather than from

fears based on past expectations.

• An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
