Summer is the apex of the seasons.

Temperatures run hot. Energy requirements run high for travels, social gathers, family & friend time. Making time for a mid day pause is a habit that recharges and regenerates for the adventure packed day and fun filled evening ahead.

How to spend that currency of quiet is custom designed by you.

  • 15 minute power nap
  • 10 minutes of following your breath
  • 20 minute body scan
  • guided meditation
  • zoning out, eyes closed, falling into the quiet
  • choiceless awareness
  • yoga nidra
  • legs up the wall for lymph support

 

There is a hammock waiting for you.

There is a shade tree just outside.

There is a dark & quiet room with a do not disturb sign on the door.

There is a yoga mat with a floor fan blowing.

There is a screened porch with a chaise lounge.

Find your way to a short rest with a long payoff.

Water ~ You are resilient https://drsaritaelizabeth.com/water-you-are-resilient/ Fri, 03 Feb 2023 12:50:22 +0000 https://drsaritaelizabeth.com/?p=4465 Continue reading →]]> You are resilient.

A loving reminder as many of us are finding new ways in a rapidly, ever changing world.

What strengths the quality of resilience?

 

  • Healthy habits ~ Double down on restorative sleep, wholesome foods, clean water, exercise, autonomy.
  • Invite real connection ~ In these days of the digital, the virtual, non-local, augmented & artificial realities bring your trusted & beloveds close.
  • Adapt – Flow around obstacles; try a new way; circumvent the programming.
  • Gratitude – Count your blessings daily; speak them; write them.
  • Connect – Align with God, source, spirit, higher power.
  • Slow down, be still, stop ~ Pause before you respond, meditate, center, pray, stop the narrative.

Live from your core values & delights. Roam the woods. Embody the elements.
