challenge

I sent one of my gals on assignment yesterday, show us how many ways our readers can stop, sit, relax for a moment.. She travelled to a retreat… found a comfortable chair and … here are some examples of taking an “adult, TIME OUT” you can’t hear it but there is a water fall in the courtyard… it was very picturesque but you can sit anywhere, at any time… You just have to make the time, to STOP for a moment, and SIT …

I know it is hard.. every time I open one of my devices I find some kind of ad/commercial/video about how to get better, feel better, and how their product will be a miracle cure like no other.. All you have to do is send them your information and buy their product. This Time Out is free…it is all Y O U.

I recommend, you close your eyes, take a deep breath in… and tilt your head back, and just let it out with a huge big sigh… and feel how your body responds… as you exhale your shoulders actually crop slightly.. and wow it didn’t hurt at all, it wasn’t hard to do… you survived.. Try it for a few more minutes… I know you can do it… don’t be shy, let the sigh be audible if you like… its YOUR moment… After that hard workout… you can treat yourself to another quiet moment, maybe sip on a coffee, drink some organic tea… after all you took a TIME OUT… you deserve a reward… smile…

The best part is you can do it several times a day if you want… if its too hard, try it three for times a week… see if it helps…you can work up to doing it daily… Putting yourSELF first can at times be challenging .. but. you are worth it !!!

This is a cold hard fact…. no one but YOU can make changes in YOUR life, Things happen that we can’t control, but WE can control how we deal with/accept… the opportunities that come our way.

green onions (garnish) I had left over pieces of dry garlic beef kidney enough to add flavouring (handful)

gai toy (mustard green) – half a coup of sliced Brussel sprout.about 1/4 cup of st

about 1/5 cup of sticky rice left over from a dish I got with Chinese Sausage and BBQ Pork, (already cooked)

pinch of white pepper for added taste – I put in the remaining liquid (dry garlic) from the beef kidney cuz I don’t like to waste.

et viola, my supper last night. * note seasoning is to taste If I had, had kernel corn I would have added it for added flavour/colour


BE creative in your effort

If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are tackling the problem. There s sure to be something you can improve on.

My cooking is all … in the moment, it depends on what is in my fridge/cupboards at the time. And I don’t measure. That comes with years of cooking this way.. and I mean yearS plural. AND I don’t add sugar, and seldom salt.,, I don’t even keep sugar in my house.

winter

Even if there is snow, the little critters still have to eat.

Even if someone totally disagrees with you or does things differently, you may learn something from them. Avoid getting trapped in the mindset, “this is the way it has to be,” and free your mind to consider other possibilities.
