The Three-minute Wellness Retreat
We all have a vision, if somewhat blurry, of our ideal life. To develop a fuller picture of this preferred life, and to understand what “feeds us”, we need time and space. Many people have a longing for a slower, perhaps fuller life, and are beginning to look inside themselves to find out what they truly desire.
Take the time today to try this “Wellness Retreat”:
Close your eyes for a moment. Think of a time and place, either real or imagined, where you feel completely relaxed, completely at peace. Notice all the sights around you, smell the smells, hear the sounds, feel the objects. The more you involve your senses in this, the more effective it will be. Take a deep breath through your nose, hold it for a count of three, and then push the air out through your mouth. Do this three times. Site quietly for three minutes just noticing how your body feels. Slowly open your eyes. Notice how you are feeling now, right this minute. Hold onto this feeling by revisiting it periodically throughout your day.
