Fifteen Minute Time Out



"Some seek education to better understand their world; and
some meditate to better understand themselves."
Bert McCoy

World discoveries are vitally important and scientific research ensures progress, but if we do not invest in our own humanness, there will be loss.  We use careful consideration for available jobs, perspective babysitters, and those we choose to call friends.  Why is it we spend so little time with nurturing our lovely selves?

It is time, my friend, to allow flexible boundaries; to open the mind to other perspectives; and to change routines.  Shake things up a little and be surprised at how things might change.  Take a 15 minute time out for the self ... porch swing, stretched out on bed, quick shower or simply be still.

Just 15 minutes lavished upon the self can shift our mood, impact relationships, and elevate opinions of our world.  Once we have created the 15 minute habit, we are surprised at how long it can actually feel.  Pay attention to what comes to mind and be certain to erase negative chatter in the brain. When time is complete, send a quick burst of loving light to a dear one.  Then back to business.
