Supurr Monday greetings beautiful furriends
We do hope mew've had a truly fantabulous weekend and are feeling all refreshed and supurr zingy fur the week ahead and if not, well we think we'd better assist mew in getting your Zen Harmonies happening and your chill zone to that purrfect temperature to keep mew cool, calm and collected.
Let's begin with our little breathing exercise, we're sure mew know what to do but if mew've furgotten: purrlease take deep fulfilling breaths; counting to five on the inhale and five on the exhale:
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe out
Let all your frustrations go on effury exhale.
Let all your frustrations go on effury exhale.
Today Smoochie is sharing a little bit of zen-ness with us, so purrlease read on...
The Wurld according to Smooch
As we go through our day to day lives, none of us knows when that proverbial curve-ball will strike, sometimes mew can catch it in your mitten and it's all ok, yet others mew fumble, miss and the ball lands in a big pile of icky kack and suddenly things start to spiral out of control. Then we get so caught up in the situation we can't see wood fur trees and end up reacting rather than thinking.
So if mew fumble the ball and find yourself in a stink-pit of a mess, stop and breathe fur a second rather than get swept away with the tide. Then...
"Try to look at things from another purrspective, it's amazing how different a situation can seem if mew take a moment to view it from another angle."
Thanks Smooch fur your most profound, yet stunningly simple wisdom.
Who knew that the little Heathen Widdler could be so ZEN - AMAZING!!! MOL
