Soul Siesta: Recharge Your Spirit Battery

As we’re right in the sunny vibes of summer, remember that this the time to step away from the hustle and bustle of life, and to set aside time to rest, relax, and play.

It’s time to slow down, chill out, and let go of the obligations, responsibilities and the ‘need tos’ …

For me, it’s been quite an unusual summer – actually 6 months  – as I’m in between houses right now and leading a nomadic life. And although that is sometimes challenging, it’s also a great adventure and I’m enjoying staying in different places …

I’m still working but with a less full schedule and more time for Soul Siesta. 

Here’s some tips on how you can also make the most of this summer time in a way that feeds your Soul.

A number of easy-to-do Soul Siesta ‘practices’, without having to go on a 3 week vacation and drop everything that you’re doing (work, family, household, etc.) that will be a treat for your body, mind and Soul. 

1. Soak Up Some Cosmic Rays: Illuminate Your Spirit
   When the sun’s out, it’s not just your skin that’s soaking up the rays for Vitamin D – it’s your spirit too! Find a comfy spot, close your eyes, and bask in the sun, allowing it to fill you with its warmth. Imagine it’s filling you with positivity and energy from the universe. Feel your worries melt away as you soak in the nurturing energy.

2. Soulful Strolls: Have a Heart-to-Heart with Mama Earth
   Take leisurely strolls in nature and let the world around you speak to your heart. Listen to the leaves rustling, the birds chirping, and the breeze whispering sweet secrets. It’s like Mother Nature is giving you a cosmic pep talk, reminding you that you’re part of something much bigger.

3. Mindful Moments: Be Here Now, Savoring Every Moment
   Summer is all about living in the moment. Try being mindful – it’s like turning up the volume on life’s juicy bits. Take a moment to feel the ground under your feet or really savor the taste of that juicy watermelon. When you embrace these small moments, life becomes a masterpiece of little wonders.

4. Adventure & Exploration: Rediscover Your Inner Explorer
   Summer’s your chance to be a curious kid again. Try things you’ve never done before – visit a quirky museum, go on a spontaneous road trip, or simply gaze at the stars on a clear night. It’s all about rediscovering that sense of wonder that’s been hiding within you.

5. Soul Siesta: Recharge Your Spirit Battery
   Remember, rest is a gift you give to yourself. Create a cozy place for yourself where you can unwind – read a book, jot down your thoughts, or simply chill. Embrace the power of doing nothing – it’s in those moments of stillness we often find our most profound insights.

   These will produce lots of happiness and relaxation hormones to help you recharge for the projects you have lined up for the rest of the year:

   Give one, two or all of these a go before the end of summer (no pressure ) and let me know how it went for you.
