How to recharge without a charger!

Abracadabra....Spring has Sprung here in the northeast! 

Nature is bursting with beauty and magnificence! 
Are you feeling the excitement, joy and renewal that arrive with this miraculous time of REBIRTH?

It's time to not only open the windows and let the fresh air in.  It's time to welcome Spring with ALL of our senses.... 

• OPEN our eyes to SEE, 
• our ears to HEAR,  
• our noses to SMELL, 
• our hands to TOUCH  the magic and beauty of SPRING! 

I've learned over the years to surrender to the extremes of living at and running a business at the beach. It was only after learning to welcome the 'luxury' of the much quieter, much slower winter season and giving myself permission to rest that I got what was needed. There's something to be said for 'going with the flow.' 

I just completed a 40 day (during Lent) News Fast and feel recharged. I was inspired to seriously unplug after a retreat in the Berkshires earlier this winter and being asked three questions that I'll share with you....

• What are you currently saying yes to that diffuses your energy? 
• What are you saying no to that would increase happiness, energy, vitality, and movement toward your best life? 
• What one thing can you commit to either saying YES or NO to bring you closer to that sweet spot? 

With pen and journal in hand, it became clear that too much time was wasted zoning out with TV and social media.  I was craving....more time curled up in my loft, reading, cooking at home and just resting and relaxing. Luckily Roger was onboard and we unplugged the TV except for 3 consciously chosen hours a week. It was just what the doctor ordered! 

We listened. We reconnected. We rejuvenated.  We recharged without a charger!

Thank you Mother Nature for modeling and teaching us this important big lesson....REST is needed to cultivate and sustain energy and vitality. 

This is the essence of what we believe, teach and share everyday at Therapeutic Touch.
