Merry Christmas to you all! I hope Christmas morning brings you joy and warmth.
This morning I woke up around 7 am in my apartment, with my boyfriend sound asleep. I had a shower to start my day, made a tea, and did 15 minutes of morning stretches and yoga. The last few days I have hibernated inside, on my couch, doing absolutely nothing but reading. Actually, yesterday I went out and purchased a Himalayan Salt Lamp from a local shop named “Chakra Wellness”. I instantly fell in love with this little store. Not only do they sell items like Healing Crystals and gems, Sage, Salt lamps, Spiritual Home decor, incense, Keto Diet & Organic pantry items, BUT they also offer guided meditation practices. So neat.
I am currently on day 5, out of my 12 day Christmas Break. I have been meditating and reading every day. My goal over the holidays was to do some major soul searching, take care of my mind and physical body, and essentially take the first few steps onto a spiritual path.
Being away from the fast paced, vicious 9-5 work week has felt so refreshing, yet stimulating for my mind. It does bring me sadness though, because I know I am so extremely lucky to have the ability to take a 12 day holiday break. Majority of people in the world only get a few days off from work – if that. This then brings me to another thought. I have such a strong desire to venture away from living an average person’s way of life. I have been brainstorming every day of certain career changes. Can I make homemade soap for a living? I’ve made it before and I loved doing it. Should I look into making my own homemade wine? How can I start an online business? What about a Reiki Practitioner, or a massage therapist? My brain is constantly going. And then I meditate and feel a little more at peace with my thoughts.
I despise the thought of going to work everyday and putting on an image that feels 100% totally artificial to me. Trading time for money. Working for someone else’s dream. Maybe to some people, this is.. just what life is. “It pays the bills.” Blah. Gross. I can’t live like that.
Anyway, I am totally rambling this morning. Merry Christmas to you all! Smile big, eat a ton, and give lots of hugs and kisses!
