How do you relax?

By Sweetie Berry Leave a Comment

Ever had one of those weeks…or series of weeks where things just never slow down? Life catches up and simply keeps running past you?  Whooo eee, the last few weeks we’ve had hospital trips for my husband, a move for our family business, continuing renovations on the tacky brown house, and now room movements in the Nunnally home in Arkansas.  Lawsy mercy, it’s time for a break.

How do you relax? What are the processes you do to still you brain? How do you rest your heart?  For me, it’s about finding pretty. It’s about taking time to intentionally engage in nothingness.  I often have difficulty remembering just how much I like to be still…so I keep a list of what relaxing looks like to me…

read a book

sit on the porch

warm baths with epsom salt

essential oil diffused in a room

time in my hammock

a long talk with a friend

kneading bread

a long walk

sewing simple quilts

weeding my flower bed

arranging flowers

cooking comfort foods

read the Scripture

listen or play music

write a physical letter

journal

calligraphy

watching movies over and over again

What do you do to relax? Where in your planner or calendar do you set aside time to simply be? How do you pause your life to begin living?

A creative soul born in the South. Walking out a messy life as a cultivator of gifts and a grower of lives. Burning up the highway between renovating a 1955 ranch style home with her husband and college daughter in Alabama, while protecting and living in an 1857 antebellum home in LA (lower Arkansas) God's humor seems to be to keep asking her to do things there are no instruction books for. A educator, strategist, and writer, she's co-developing classes, events, books, and products and alot of dirty laundry whereever her clients are as they tour as authors, speakers, and public personalities, often lost in the mix U turning as she locates the venue. A small town girl, she considers all people and small towns treasures as she travels...learning to grow into her parents and grandparents shoes as a believer in the miracle of God's good news and second (and third) chances. the rest of the story…
