Relax, Breath & Let Go

I saw this clip this morning and it resonated.  We are so "busy being" instead of "doing" it is exhausting.  It isn't just women, it is men too.

2015 hasn't been the finest year and I've tried to keep going as best I can, while sometimes feeling I will explode.  Due to the not so perfect year I have instead put pressure on myself to be the perfect employees, the perfect friend, the perfect daughter.  And I don't think I have perfected anything other than sending myself balmy at times.

It's funny, when someone asked me what I was doing last weekend and I responded with "Nothing, not a thing, I may not even leave my house", I got a look of dismay.  Does spending time looking after me mean I am lazy?  I don't think so.  I think it means I want some time out to do things I want to do not having to shine brightly in a public setting or put on a face of makeup every day (oh is that not the best feeling ever!).  Even if that is just shuffling around my house, pottering in the garden and taking an afternoon snooze on the couch.  It makes me happy.

So watch the clip, take it in (and there are a lot of comments about it being counter productive because it is advertising something - I didn't think that at all.  I thought it was some beautiful, mature aged women giving some advice to the younger generations).

Relax, Let Go and Breath - you will thank yourself for it one day.
