Today I got “Whole Living: Body + Soul in Balance” in the mail and flipping through the pages I found a great list created by Terri Trespicio. The list is titled 10 Thoughts on Whole Living. This list is quirky and fun, but a great reference when under the stress and strain of planning big events.
- Your body already knows how to heal itself; you just have to get out of its way.
- Go ahead…vent a little! Think of it as a detox for the soul.
- Good posture isn’t about rigidity, but fluidity.
- When you can appreciate being alone you’re rarely lonely.
- Clutter is the by-product of indecision; make sure everything in your space is there because you choose to keep it.
- You may not be in school anymore but there’s always more to learn.
- True sufficiency doesn’t mean having plenty, it means having enough.
- Pay attention to how you walk. Ask yourself what you’re rushing toward…or away from.
- Transform anxiety into excitement; focus not on the fear of what lies ahead, but the possibilities you might create.
- Lead with your heart, not your ego
I love the simplicity yet grounding effect this list has on me when I read it. If it helps to ground you amidst the task of event planning, I suggest printing it out and keeping it somewhere that you can see it easily. Life is too short to forget the simple pleasures of simply being.
