Genuine You

The following is a little excerpt from The Art of Relaxation class found in the Genuine You online course. There is so much rich content, loads of ideas and resources, several personal stories (I love story telling); it’s chock full of me, my passion for simply living a beautiful life. But, in Genuine You this isn’t all you get. There are 8 other women who share their passion for life with you too. This self paced online course is designed to guide and enrich your life.

For now, enjoy this tiny little snippet from The Art of Relaxation!

 “There is more to life than increasing its speed.” 
~ Mohandas K. Gandi 

“The world is getting better and better and worse and worse, faster and faster, simultaneously.”
~ Tom Atlee, Co-Intelligence Institute

And so it seems to be that we live in a hurry up, fast paced world which continues to pick up speed. Even if you have mild to no stress, just being among this much acceleration can cause tension.

Remember, though, you have control. While you can’t slow down time, you can slow down and make the most of your time. In so doing, you can center in on what’s important, get yourself grounded, and be better able to focus on any situation or stress you maybe in or facing.

There are many ways to slow down. Sometimes, for me, it might just be going out and greeting the Sun or sitting and gazing up at the Stars.

• Do you recognize when you need to slow down? Begin to recognize when stress elevates, and choose to slow down for a moment.
• In what ways do you slow down now?
• How can being aware of and acting upon the need to slow down be part of your Art of Relaxation?

This picture of TinyCat reminds us to simply slow down and soak up a little Sunshine. Just looking at her stretched out like this is relaxing.
