[literally: sweet doing nothing]
My next challenge may sound simple but I wonder how many of you will battle to actually do it. I challenge you to pick a day, one single day, where you refuse to make any arrangements. None, not one. That's the first part, the second part is to not set your alarm and just wake up when you wake up...(if you have children book a night away and get a baby sitting or you do it one weekend and your partner can do it the next or the next)
When you wake up, stop yourself from falling into your daily rutine, stop, think, what do I feel like doing right now? Now remeber you have no plans for the entire day, so whatever it is, you can do it. If you feel like going back to sleep, do, if you feel like flapjacks and mascarpone cheese with fresh strawberries and dark roasted coffee with full cream, have it, if you want to go for a walk, do it.
Eat eactly what you feel like with no care for calery counting or convention, do whatever you want, but do it by yourself, give yourself time to sit in silence... alow your mind to wonder and drift and go wherever it wants to go. Sit at a side road cafe or coffee shop, read the paper or an actual book and sip on full flavored full bodied red wine or a chocolate milkshake. Listen to music that fills your heart and makes you want to sing and dance, and then sing and dance, do it, who cares if someones watching, do it because you want to and because it make you happy!
Remember happiness, like laughter, is contagious,
so feel it openly!
Achieve nothing for a whole day except doing what gives you pleasure, enjoy it, embrace pleasure, you are worth it and you deserve it. This is not wasting time, this is "the sweet art of doing nothing", "Dolce far niente" and its your turn to enjoy it, no excuses make it happen, Happy You Day!
