Are you so addicted to your busy life that you’ve lost sight of your priorities? Have you forgotten how deeply restoring a walk in nature can be?

I live near the ocean and I’m always amazed at how many locals haven’t taken a beach walk in years. Does your monkey-mind control your life—constantly shifting between, ‘what-if’s’ and ‘if-only’s’? In your heart of hearts can you find a place where you feel ever so slightly more ‘important’ because you are so busy? Identifying self-worth with busyness is both a distortion and a distraction. It distracts you from communicating with the most important person in your world. That would be you! See, when you lose touch with you, you slowly begin to lose yourself. Do you bemoan the fact that others aren’t appreciating or respecting you? If this is your mantra, I invite you to look in the mirror. The truth is that everyone in your world reflects a part of you. Ouch. How to change that? You might start by committing just 5 minutes each day to be with you. Either find a spot outside in nature that you love or have fun creating a special quiet place in your home just for you. Before you begin, list all of the issues your mind is obsessing about. Writing it on paper helps your head to let go of it. Close your eyes. Smile softly. Bring your awareness to your breathing as you mentally repeat, “I inhale peace and relaxation, exhale stress and tension.” When your monkey-mind starts in again, gently bring your focus back to your breathing to dismiss this distraction. That’s it. It’s that easy!

This 5 minute daily time out is a fertile inspiration exercise. Letting go of the monkey-mind ushers in clarity, creativity and solutions that cannot come through the constant ‘busy-signal’ of a monkey-mind.

You might even think of ‘time-out’ for you as the start of a new love affair—because it is!
