STOP AND REALIZE YOUR PRECIOUSNESS!<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhat did you do on your summer vacation? Did you take one? \u201dRelaxing and enjoying ourselves\u201d is a phrase we commonly use when describing our vacations. We\u2019re usually talking, when we use it, about feeling good<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Why does relaxing feel so good?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It\u2019s a break from hard work\/boring work\/mundane existence.<\/li>\n
  2. We have the circumstances to simply have fun\u2014to enjoy activities such as swimming and boating, reading a novel in the hammock or taking in a movie or concert with friends.<\/li>\n
  3. There\u2019s another reason that I think is even more at play<\/em> here; it\u2019s this: It is when we are relaxed that we can sense into who we really are, into our Inner Self– with the dreams, strengths and yearnings of our real selves<\/em> that desire to be recognized and realized.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Truly \u201cenjoying ourselves\u201d is what happens when we recognize and let our inner selves out to play!<\/p>\n

    \nOur #1 need (after physical survival) is having our preciousness realized!<\/strong><\/span>
    \nToo often in our current culture, vacation time is the only time when we take the time to be consciously aware of our precious Inner Self. As this luscious August month comes to a close and we shift our attention to the back-to-school-and-work season that follows, consider completing this month\u2019s CSL focus on the power of rest<\/em> by setting an intention to enjoy your Inner Self more often<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    Schedule times of rest for the recognition of your preciousness. No one else\u2019s appreciation of you will get through to you if you aren\u2019t doing it yourself. It\u2019s an inside job! Remember to stop and smell your inner flowers\u2014and enjoy them–all year long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
