Taking good care of yourself, while going through a difficult time.

Image via Wikipedia

Get up from the bed and leave the mind to its own devices

Climb into the shower and wash away the outer layer

Put some fresh clothes on to brighten the lost glow

Cook a beautiful meal as you are cooking for an important soul

Tidy up everything with the sound of uplifting music

Go for a walk and think of nothing only what you see

Walk until you are tired and make your way home again

Have another shower and let the water run forever

Ring a friend and see a movie or watch one on your own

Read a book in bed to bring your mind to a different place

Sleep the greatest sleep and dream the greatest dream

Get up out of bed and start your life again.

    It\’s okay to have lazy days like these. Lovely and full of emotion. If we don’t allow ourselves time to unwind both physically and mentally, then we wouldn’t be able to function. I like this poem very much too.
