J’essaie de ne pas me laisser emporter par le tourbillon des fêtes, de ne pas laisser le stress prendre le dessus. Mais c’est facile pour moi, je suis tranquillement chez moi, et ma seule tâche est de faire la bûche pour le repas en famille demain. Et j’ai déjà le sujet de ma photo!
I type this post at the end of my day. I opted to get away from the computer and have a nice fresh air bowl in nature this morning. I gathered some nice sticks, and really enjoyed being outside, in the crisp winter morning.
What about you?
J’hésite… dessiner? Ecrire? Lire? ou bidouiller un truc pour moi? Jouer de la musique!! Je verrai le moment voulu. Je me laisse porter par le flux.
Edit: Je suis allée me balader et ramasser de jolis bâtons… ça m’a fait le plus grand bien d’être en pleine nature… un bol d’air frais!
I think about going outside and gathering some branches to paint them. Because flowers are definitely not an option anymore with my new roommate. But I still want to give myself a bit of nature magic… and painting them will be fun!
Je pense que je vais aller chercher des branches et les peindre…. Parce qu’un bouquet de fleurs me parait un peu trop risqué avec ma nouvelle colocataire… Mais des branches, un peu de peinture acrylique, ça peut être vraiment sympa!!
I love to do that, to take that time out of time and space and to really enjoy it. I choose a candle, I pick one of the guided meditations, visualizations, or grounding practice, and I let it take me wherever I need to go. I surrender, just for a while, I let it guide me. Then I come back to my everyday life, with this little extra within.
So today, go and pick a meditation (on youtube, or an app, or on a website, or even on CD or on your phone, wherever you have your meditations), and let go of everything else for a moment… Because you deserve it.
Have a sweet day.
J’aime bien faire ça, surtout le week end. Je m’installe, j’allume ma bougie, je choisis une méditation guidée parmi celles que j’ai ici et là, et je me laisse porter. Je peux aussi opter pour une visualisation, ou une séance d’ancrage… Peu importe, je suis l’inspiration du moment. Et ça m’apporte toujours quelque chose, probablement ce dont j’avais besoin.
Aujourd’hui, prenez le temps de choisir une méditation qui vous parle (on peut en trouver facilement en ligne, sur Youtube, ou sur certains site, ou encore sur des applications spécialisées). et partez en voyage en sa compagnie. Dépaysez-vous, ouvrez-vous, laissez-vous porter. Et revenez ensuite pour reprendre vos activités habituelles.
Je vous souhaite une douce journée.
I still don’t know what I will choose… a novel ? Some poetry ? A philosophical or spiritual guide? It doesn’t really matter, because I know that the one my hands will pick will be the one I need to read. That the words will take me to unknown shores, and that I will enjoy each moment of the journey.
So today, pick a book, and let it take you to wherever it will lead you. And enjoy, even for just an hour… or more. Remember? Rule #1: there is no rule.
I wish you an excellent day.
Je ne sais pas encore ce que je vais choisir… un roman? Un recueil de poésie ? Un ouvrage spirituel ? Un classique ? De la philosophie ? J’ai l’embarras du choix. Mais je sais que celui que je choisirai me fera voyager, réfléchir, rêver, ou encore me remettre en questions… Et ce sera exactement ce dont j’aurai besoin à ce moment-là.
Alors aujourd’hui, laissez les mots vous guider vers des rivages inexplorés et profitez du voyage. Ne serait-ce que l’espace d’une heure… ou plus… la règle étant qu’il n’y a pas de règles!
Je vous souhaite une excellente journée.
A demain!
It is time to step back a bit and to look at what we managed to put in place these last weeks. I know that, as far as I am concerned, I really succeeded to avoid being overwhelmed by stress or tensions, not like I used to be at this time of the year. I managed to acknowledge times when I started to be caught by it, and step aside as quick as possible. I managed to overcome, and to make choices in order to take care of my well being, and not to satisfy so called obligations that are actually just illusions. I also managed to turn a page of my life, and find myself in the excitement of new beginnings. I took action to materialize them and I feel in harmony with myself. I really took care of myself, in a simple way. If sometimes I could do the daily prompt, I didn’t put the blame on myself, I just decided it wasn’t the good time, that I could do it later. If I didn’t have the strength or the time to start a new project, should it be professional or personal, I went full creative and found solution that suited me better, without anger, without, frustration. And I could say no, or yes, without justifying myself. So yes, I do feel good, And that was my goal to reach.
Today, look at what you accomplished these last weeks, without judging yourself, but as objectively as possible. You can do it, and this change of perspective will open your eyes on something you may have not expected.
I wish you a soft day.
