10 Ways To Take A Day Off

I found this in a Natural Awakenings Magazine and fell in love with ti. What gets me, is that the little things that make so much sense, we never seem to implement..why is that? Well maybe we should. Try one or some of these out and see what goes.

1) Avoid technology
2) Contact loved one
3) Nurture your health
4) Get outside
5) Avoid commerce
6) Light candles
7) Drink wine
8) Eat bread
9) Find silence
10) Give back

I am a firm believer in #10 and I will tell you why. So many people have thee attitude of,'Well I never get anything.', and there is a reason why. That is because those people never give. And I am talking about giving because you want to, not because you are made to. For when it comes from the heart, then the getting starts flowing in your direction. Try it, you will see.

I have been trying to demonstrate this to my kids more lately...no. 10. It is true that in our world today, so many people are too concerned about what they are getting! People even go to church and leave complaining about not getting anything out of it...instead of going with the attitude that they are there to give praise. I so do not want my kids to grow up with this attitude. I want them to see me with a giving heart so they can learn to do the same!
I love your list. Some of them would be really hard...others not so much. I would like to choose about half of them to do all in one day!

No 10 is a key one. If more of us thought like this, about what we could give rather than what we could get, our world would be a better place.
