Each week, on Sunday, I'll offer you a hygge self-care reading. It may give you an idea to try that you hadn't yet considered, or connect you with the practice you need most. Ready to give it a try this week? ... Which spiritual practice do you need most this week?What's on your mind or heart today? When you think of the week ahead, is there wisdom or insight you need? Or, maybe there's a problem that doesn't yet have a solution. Hold space for getting an answer today, and then choose one of the numbers below. Which one did you choose? One... If you picked the first one, it's all about the tea! Or whatever your favorite beverage is. Pour a cup or glass and take time both to savor and to sip. Make it a quiet moment, no distractions from your phone, TV or computer, and what you need will come to you. The guidance you need, the insight, or that creative idea you've been waiting for - whatever it is, your quiet tea moment will provide it. The third choice represents taking a dance break, for a few moments, or for longer, if time permits. Dancing may cheer you up, energize you, give you a few moments' break from stress, or help you connect more deeply to the truest parts of yourself. it. Two... If you chose the second one, daydreaming is your best self-care resource right now. You haven't had enough alone time lately, just to relax and think things through. Give yourself at least ten minutes. Daydreaming, about nothing in particular, about an imagined solution to a problem that's been bothering you, or about the next great thing you want to create in your life, will give you a moment's peace. And if you do it often enough, will help return you to your best self. Three... The third choice represents taking a dance break, for a few moments, or for longer, if time permits. Dancing may cheer you up, energize you, give you a few moments' break from stress, or help you connect more deeply to the truest parts of yourself. Whether you choose slow music or fast, you may find that dancing for a few minutes leaves you different than you were before you began, if only because it breaks the spell of whatever moment you were in before. How do you feel about the reading? Was it a match for what you need today? See you next time! love, Jeanine

I picked #2 - daydreaming! I definitely need more time to zone out into my own thoughts. We're finishing up baseball season so we've been on-the-go with very little time to think beyond work, ball field, eat, bed.I have a big decision coming up so I'll definitely be trying to find the time to do some daydreaming on it!

Hi Shelly! Oh, I can definitely see how daydreaming could help with a big decision. I imagine with being that busy, it has been harder to get clear about it. Maybe try imagining each result possible, see yourself in the story, and notice what you're thinking & how you feel in each moment.

Life has been busy Jeanine, and I chose Day Dreaming. Wow! I should do it and let you know. I do use visual boards and it really works. Good Post. Loved it.

I picked #2 - all about daydreaming! It was a good pick! I always *think* about letting go and day dreaming... and honestly I typically think of it as NOT being productive.

Daydreaming sounds like just the perfect "assignment" for me today!

I picked #2. At first, when I read the description under #1, I was a little disappointed I didn't choose that. I love tea. :)

I picked 3. I'm not much of a dancer, but it sounds like I need to move joyfully!
