A relaxed schedule can be a huge stress reducer. Whether at home or on vacation, I find it is much healthier not to have a jam packed day filled with pressure. It’s a relief to have free time. Focusing on what’s most important, and letting go of extra activities can lead to better sleep, a calm mind, and a happier existence.
Having the space to enjoy your meals, spend time in nature, and do what matters will prevent exhaustion and burnout. For me, that means taking a swim, knitting outside in the garden, and savoring meals and coffee al fresco. How about you? Do you have a relaxed schedule?
Your hollyhocks are looking lovely! I do have a very relaxed schedule. Sometimes, I wonder if I have too relaxed a schedule! But, then, I'm retired and I can take it easy. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bless. They are my favorite old fashioned flower.
