The 3 R’s
If you are anything like me, from the moment your alarm goes off in the morning until your head hits the pillow at night, it feels like you do not have a moment to breathe, let alone relax. We get so busy going all the time that we forget to take time for ourselves. Whether it be meditation, reading, journaling or whatever makes your heart happy – it is absolutely necessary to allow yourself time to practice the 3 R’s – Relax, Reflect and Recharge.
I have found that on my toughest days, if I give myself permission to take time just for me, and I huddle up in my office with my paint and a blank canvas, I instantly feel the weight lifting off my shoulders. Before I know it, I feel as light as a feather. Sometimes, all I do is mix colors and paint lines on a canvas; other times, I paint grand landscapes or sunsets.
During my paint classes, I encourage my friends to not get caught up in creating a perfect painting and allow themselves to just enjoy the freedom of expression and relaxation. The friendships, the laughter, the downtime is what matters…the painting is just a bonus.
I CHALLENGE you to do whatever sets your heart on fire for at least an hour or two a week. You won’t regret it; the dishes can wait! If you love to paint and create, join my monthly membership and paint with me and the coolest girls in the world every Friday at 7:00 PM CT. Included is a supply list, a tracer and a yummy recipe to make and enjoy while we paint. The belly laughs? They are free!
Don’t forget! Every purchase helps restore hope and healing to women and children in need!
How can you say no?
See ya on Friday!
