Hit the Pause Button…
If your weekends feel like an oasis of calm before you grit your teeth and hit the Monday morning grind again, welcome to one of the major challenges of modern life. We live in a highly-structured world where we need to be well organised in order to get everything done. It isn’t easy and the pace of life places huge strains on our minds and on our physical health. If you harbour any doubts about this, look at the rising cases of burnout, absenteeism and depression. The signs are clear. That’s why the weekend deserves to serve as more than a temporary refuge from the storms and turmoil of daily life.
Whilst we all have a list of weekend tasks that demand our attention, it’s equally important to schedule time for your rest and recovery, for exercising and breathing, for meditating and re-centering your inner balance. It’s essential to set aside time to regain your poise and reaffirm your purpose. It’s immensely helpful to lay aside the masks you’ve been wearing and the roles you’ve been playing and seek the whispered counsel of your deeper self. What a magnificent formula for re-establishing an authentic sense of direction and control in your life. It’s a perfect way to escape the habits of stress, fear, doubt and anxiety. The surprising element in this entirely natural way to breathe new life into your perception is how quickly you feel the benefits. The more you practise the techniques, the easier the process becomes until you develop a sense that your inner calm and razor-sharp perception are natural extensions of who you are.

The easiest approach to the challenges of leading a busy and often-overburdened life is to make sure that your personal needs receive the same level of attention as your work responsibilities. It’s just a question of setting aside time so that your health and wellbeing requirements are recognised as priorities. Schedule discrete slots in your weekend agenda that are reserved just for you. It’s time to make time every week for you to recover your inner peace, health and vitality. It’s time to enhance the quality of your life and respect your physical, mental and emotional needs. This is not a luxury. This is an essential and wise recognition of how important your life is. When you respect the potential within yourself for greater health, happiness and an enduring sense of personal fulfilment, your life will improve on all levels.?
