Slow Down

We are getting closer and closer to summer. I bet some of you have already made plans to get away for a bit or to go hang out with friends somewhere. Maybe you have exciting plans or the workload gets heavier in this season.

Regardless of what your summer will look like, make sure you are taking time for yourself.

Something I love to do is go sit down in a coffee shop and work on my poetry or just people watch. (Even right now, as I write this, I'm listening to two women talk in Japanese, and I'm loving it!)

We all have our ways of slowing down, and it's important to take that time to let our minds and bodies rest, to just be in a place and breathe. We are human and can only do so much. We need that reset time.

So, this is me encouraging you, and also myself, to take some time and just sit. Relax. You don't always have to be doing something. It's okay to schedule a day to just sit outside and watch clouds go by or something.

You will thank yourself in the end. Just try it.
