Sometimes, we just need to take a step back from our stressful lives and give ourselves a huge metaphorical hug.  

So how can we better embrace ourselves?

It starts with building a sliver of solitude into our lives. It may be more challenging for parents and other family caregivers to consistently carve out long blocks of time out for solitude. However, just an hour a day of quiet time can recharge us. Next, we take the time to embrace who we are and how far we have come in our journey.

Exercise #1-
Are you embracing where you are right now in your journey?  If so, what was the turning point in which you decided to embrace your life's journey? If not, what is holding you back from embracing your life?

Song of the Day: "The Toreador" by Georges Bizet

Meditation:
I am self-aware. I am actively practicing self-acceptance. I am embracing myself and where I am in my journey.

Daylight stretches long into the evening hours and you can find yourself stepping out of your workplace and right into an after work cocktail party. New people are buzzing around town. Perhaps, they are working on summer projects for their respective employers, working internships, and/or attending classes. Summer is also a great time for plotting the next career step or life transition. How will you be spending your summer hours? Will your summer be all about work or will you manage to sneak in a few weeks of leisurely travel? I am planning on working, spending time with friends and family, and working on our farm.

BGU: Ending Summer On A High Note-7 Day Try Something New Challenge

Courtesy of Freedigitalphotos.net Is 7 days enough time to create a lasting change? Well, I believe that 7 days of effort and dedication can create just enough space to change our perspective. A different perspective can enable us to create lasting change. The tasks listed in the 7 day challenge may appear on the outset to be too simplistic. However, simple changes are often the catalyst for bigger ones. Students will need a notebook and writing utensil for this course. The notepad feature in a mobile device will also work. Day 1- Make a list of the following things: -Food, beverages, and/or restaurants which you have always wanted to try -Skills that you wish to learn. -Cultures and ethnic groups which you have always been curious about. -Musical and dance genres which you are not familiar with. -Groups/Organizations which you always wanted to join.
