Something we all want

I am delighted today to be guest posting at Sheloves! I was asked to write a post about living well regardless of your season of life.

It is possible to live well in ways that don’t sound trite to those in crisis or cynical to those who are in the throes of delight and actually works in the middle of real life?

It is.

  1. Breathe—It seems so underwhelming to live well by taking a breath, doesn’t it? But taking a breath slows you down and gives the rational part of your brain a chance to kick in when life seems chaotic and out of control. Pausing to breathe in the midst of the mundane can remind us of the beauty in the ordinary and the gifts we have been given in those seasons when all seems to be going our way.
  1. Feed—Yes, feed your body. Blood sugar level is real. Also, feed your senses. What beauty can you feed your eyes with? What sounds feed your ears? Is there a smell that transports you? When you feed your senses, you are feeding your soul and leaning into what it means to be made in the Image of God.

Read numbers 3 – 10 here :). And guess what . . . SheLoves made a beautiful print out of the 10 if you want to hang them up for easy reference! It’s beautiful, you can get it here.

Have a lovely weekend, Amy

p.s. What helps you live well in your current season? If I’m brave, I might share one of mine in the comments.
