It’s Time To Get Into The Flow!

Oh how I love it when the days are longer.  I bet you do, too!  Even if there’s snow on the ground where you live, Daylight Savings Time heralds the spring to come.  But most of all, it gives us more hours in the day before we settle in for nighttime.  So let us ask: What do we want to do with that time? More work?  More chores?  More errands?

Why not use those extra hours deliciously for yourself?  I love to walk during the two hours before dusk, that “golden light” time.  But DST also means I might be able to get in a half hour or hour of meditation in the morning before I get to my desk, or perhaps in the evening in my backyard, amongst the trees, cooing doves, running waterfall and fresh smelling flowers.  On the weekends, it means I can spend more time outdoors reading wonderful mind/body/spirit books or perhaps immersing myself in a historical biography or novel.

What can you do with those extra hours?  How can you enrich your life, de-stress, find joy?  Take a yoga class, visit with friends who feed your soul, take your dog for a long walk, dance, sing, indulge in a hobby that takes you away from the cares of the day, or take your kids to a culturally stimulating program that’s interactive for adults, too.  Etc…

Make a list of the things you desire to do and then block time for this in your calendar — and just to make sure you are creating the right energy for it, consciously create a visualization where you see yourself doing these things.  Revel in the emotions of joy, relief, fun, ease and satisfaction that go along with being in that experience.  Now, go enjoy those extra daylight hours!
