It is so easy to get into a rut, especially after a long, hard winter. That rut can present itself at home, at work, at school . . . in virtually any, or all parts of one's life. Sometimes the easiest fixes are simple and free. When I am feeling a bit stale, blue, or overwhelmed, I change the channel and insert some new scenery in my life. Long walks in my favorite neighborhoods and state/federal parks are a frequent source of inspiration and increased mindfulness because I can let my mind wander and do a little 'walking meditation' (to relax, refresh and calm the noise in my head - focusing on breathing is such a brilliant, but simple tool).
Sometimes the easiest fix for a slump is to insert variety via small adventures into my daily routine - spice things up a bit in a fun non-stressful way. With that in mind, I intend to 'Try New Routes To Work And Errands For Work And Fun', as part of my Second Annual I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me? The objective is very simple: Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'. Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'. Instead, make every day New Year's Day. Make every day count with 'daily resolves'. The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals. If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources.
