Hi
and welcome to the Under Blue Skies blog on this June morning here in North Devon . This
week I decided that I might shoot myself in the foot
Seriously
I was trawling through some notes that I had made recently and from those notes
I discovered that my life is heading down a pathway that sometimes feels like
it is not my own anymore and so starting at that point I began to compile this
list of a few things you can do to Reclaim Your Life
You
want a simple life style then you need to:-
REST – quite simply shut
down the computer, turn off the phone and just do nothing work related. You could go for a walk or read a book; in
fact you could even take an afternoon nap
SPEND TIME ALONE – just take yourself
off and be alone – away from other people’s dramas. It is surprising how much better you can feel
after a walk in nature with nothing to listen to but birdsong, babbling streams
or the sounds of the animals in the fields
LOOK BACK IN TIME – look back over your
life and take note of the things that are worth holding on to. It is very therapeutic to close your eyes and
drift into thinking about all of the good times you have experienced
TRY SOMETHING NEW – it could be as simple
as taking up a new hobby, going to a gym, learning to cook etc. It does not matter what it is if it gets you
away from the day to day existence that you have.
DECLUTTER – how much stuff do you
have in your life that you could get rid of?
I have recently cleared out my “home office” and it amazing how much
c*&p I got rid of, and there is still more to do, but now I have a space
that I can visit and make progress on my blog, writing etc. and in relative
comfort
MAKE CONVERSATION – now this is something
that started for me as a humorous comment – we met some friends in town and we
stood talking for approximately half an hour.
At one point Mike said something along the lines of “let us call this
thing “Street Talking – the art of social chit chat” and that has stuck and
often we meet up now for 15 or 20 minutes to just stand in the street talking
SOCIAL MEDIA – it is oh so easy to
spend your life writing blog posts, checking emails, Instagram, Facebook
Twitter etc. and that can mean upwards of 12 hours simply staring at a screen
and doing nothing constructive.
Yes
I understand the need to remain connected in this digital environment but for
the sake of your own sanity just turn it off every now and then and get back to
doing stuff that matters – i.e. looking after YOU!
And
finally TRAVEL
There
is a saying that says “travel broadens the mind” and how true it is! What is better than going to some far off
country that you have never visited before?
Alison
and I did exactly that earlier this year when we went to Morocco Bulgaria
So
I wish you every success with switching off, getting out there and simply
enjoying yourself for as the saying goes –
“live
before you die because you are a long time dead”
Thank
you for joining me on this post and I hope that you have found it interesting. If it has sparked any ideas about what else
you can do to reclaim your life please pop them into the comment box below and
if I get enough I will repost them as a 2nd list of things you can
help you get back to you!
Best
Wishes
