Hi Vidya, It’s nice to meet you here …
Thanks for sharing your tips. I agree that completing little tasks like chopping veggies or cleaning a closet can really change the way we feel. We get a feeling of accomplishment, and probably use both left and right brains in deciding how we’ll approach the task. Love painting and sketching, too. I would love to be able to work at home … I do know that the grass is always greener on the other side, so understand that working from home comes with its challenges as well.
Well, butterfly pats are something you can do at home while you’re working out that discipline
Take good care, and I hope to see you again soon!

I love how you say “reset our thought patterns..” I enjoyed this post. I am definitely trying the butterfly pats and windmills. The others are tried and tested . Pick me ups that work for me are: going downstairs and back up (I live on the third floor) so that makes me feel good; browsing a favorite blog (I set a specific time limit for this, or its so easy to get carried away); I cook something simple and quick (very therapeutic and saves time for later); Sometimes I just cut vegetables and store them (time-saver); I clear out one shelf that’s messy (have a teenage son who’s accumulating stuff all the time); I paint or sketch (makes a nice gift) – all this is easy for me because I work out of home – and that needs more discipline that I thought necessary

Sweet! Perhaps we should remember that what works for a six year old will likely work for grown-ups! Thanks for the pick-me-up!
Have a happy day!

Hi Aileen, I’m so glad you liked the pick-me-ups. I’ve been working my way through the list this evening, without even realizing it. I’m grateful for an extra shiny sunbeam tonight

I hope your performance is going beautifully … it’s Saturday, and 8:00 in California. Thanks for sharing your light with all who are watching you dance!

Jane, you are pure magic!
“we can all use a little extra polish on our sunbeam” – your six pick-me-ups are fantastic! Windchimes, music and movement are my favorite tiny pick-me-ups.

Thank you for sharing these!!

Carolynn,
Thanks so much for your beautiful list! Kindred spirits … drawn to the same things! I have to admit, that I enjoy peaceful solitude so much that I forget to invite laughter into my world often-enough. Thank you for the gentle reminder to seek laughter, and embrace it’s energy!

Have a great day … and see about turning those gray clouds to a shimmering shade of silver ~
Take good care,
Jane

Hi Katie, I’ve found that teeny tiny pieces can make the world a much happier place. From enjoying the little things, to tackling huge tasks in tiny increments, it’s the little things that really work. It’s important to make each moment, each intention count … many moments, back to back, make up a lifetime.
I’m so glad to see you here, Katie. Wishing you many bits of sunshine to make one big, beautiful sunbeam!
