Now that the stress of the holidays are over, we may still be in that “energizer bunny” mode and it can be hard to slow down and take time to reflect on the new year and what is best for you. I will vouch for this. Then I recently stumbled upon this quote. Perhaps it will speak to you, like it did to me.

When we get too caught up

in the busyness of the world,

we lose connection with one

another—and ourselves.”

—Jack Kornfield

It’s important to find a little time to do something for yourself, whether it’s simply relaxing with a cup of coffee in the morning, turning your phone off for an hour or two, sitting down to read that book you’ve been meaning to or just sitting in silence and meditating. Even a short period of meditation can allow your body to rid stress and has been said to increase attention span and allow more space in your life. I think everyone can use a little of that!

My plan is to read more, take time for some meditation and carve out more time with my family and friends. What’s in your plan for 2020? We’d love to hear! And if’s relaxation you need, we are here for you. All the best to you all for a happy and healthy 2020!
