It has become increasingly obvious to me that people these days are overwhelmed. I'm not sure... by what.. exactly. I do know, however, that at this time of year -- more than usual -- when I ask "how are you?" people respond with "busy...so busy" or "tired, I am so tired".
BUSY vs TIRED
Which is worse? I confess to being BUSY myself, although I have stopped using the actual word as much. As someone always striving for that other B word "BALANCE", now I answer "Life is FULL".
This season, when everything goes into HIGH GEAR, treat yourself to quiet moments reading a good book, or a relaxing herbal bath. Schedule it. Sometimes that's the only way it happens!
Purchase some good quality Epsom Salts or Mineral Salts and it's easy to make a fragrant relaxing "salts" just for your own use!
For a quick "botanical bath salts" bath, combine 10 drops of essential oil with 2 cups of Epsom salts.
My favourites include Rose, Rosewood, Lavender, Basil, and Orange.
Here's hoping we all find a little balance this month !
