Find the fanciest glass you have. I’ll wait. Go get it. Go on. Fill it will ice and the coldest water you have. Squeeze some lemon or lime into it. Now sit down and enjoy it by a window with a view. This only takes three minutes, maybe five if you’re pokey, but it’s five minutes for you. Peace and quiet and cold water. Repeat as necessary throughout your day.
Find a blank sheet of paper. Get a pen, not a pencil. (Pencil can be erased and we’re not going back. We’re moving forward.) Now, write down one thing you’d like to do differently. It can be anything. It doesn’t have to be profound. (Mine says….”Speak Softly.”) Tear around the words so it’s small, fold it up and put it in your pocket. For the rest of the day or however long it takes to do it differently, keep it in your pocket. When it becomes a habit, throw it away. Repeat as necessary.
Sit down in a warm spot. Grab a blanket and wrap it around you if you need to. Close your eyes and listen to your heartbeat. Breath in an out your nose slowly. Keep your eyes closed for several minutes while you do this. Don’t go to sleep but stay focused on your heartbeat and just be. Be. Repeat as necessary.
Enjoy your Tuesday.
