The World is so wonderful and there are so many exciting things to experience. We really want to catch them all. But sometimes it is important just to relax and to enjoy it, and allow the world to pass…

Reflections of the Heart 
That is a good way to think. When I read this, I also thought about relaxing and letting that personal ‘baggage,’ go. Those things that bother or irk us can drift away in the passing of each day.

And even the most good things sometime need to rest. 😉 I noticed, when I try to do too many good things at the same time, I cannot enjoy any of them. 😉
Wishing you a really enjoyable and relaxing Sunday, dear Amanda 🙂 🙂

A very good point, Elena. Trying too hard can be counter productive at times. Perhaps relaxed effort is preferable?

That is a great idea! I will try that! 🙂
I have tried the other thing – making an effort to relax – but I am really bad at it! 😀

It requires practise to relax, I think. Be accuser we are always focused on being productive and achieving something whether that be a small or big task or goal, w are constantly striving. Our bodies find to hard to relax. Two of my kids find it impossible!!!

One of my students told me that it is a really good idea to sit down for 10 minutes and … do nothing. Think nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just… feel life.
There is even a word for it! In Dutch (if memory serves) – Nixen 🙂 🙂 🙂

It is, I think. At least I have seen it described that way. 🙂
And I believe it to be a great aid against stress 🙂
Wishing you a beautiful rest-of-week, dear Amanda! 🙂

Dear Anjali, thank you so much!
You know, even though I am also absolutely sure about how important it is to relax … I so very often forget to do it myself. There are so many things which I am inspired to do – with my music and my home studio, my stories and poetry, photography and videos … and because I run so many tracks at once, everything feels like it moves in slow motion. One would think I would learn (sigh), and my husband tells me to focus on one thing at a time – but I cannot. They all clamor for inspiration in my heart…
But if one does not relax, then – stress arrives. And that ruins everything. So, definitely, we should try very hard to relax! Every day … 😉
Maybe tomorrow… 😀
Have a wonderful time relaxing, dear Anjali! 🙂

I understand what you are saying before Kyaraa born I was like that… I used to handle both corporate world and my house…. But now I started utilising my time for myself as well. I feel more relaxed and comfortable. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and have a relax weekend 💕😇💐

Good evening, Anjali 🙂
You have a totally fantastic and creative daughter and I believe she takes a lot of time and energy 😉 So to survive you probably had to learn to relax. 😉 🙂 🙂 (and I am very happy for you!)
Many warm greetings and a happy weekend! 🙂
