How about you?
Recently I had a shift of perceptions (again). Like an everchanging sky and landscape and seascape and dreamscape (the great escapes).
I pondered: What is time? Is time a gift? How can we use available time to our best energetic or resting advantages?
Unknown
The gift of time:
Time for?
Tai Chi and/or Yoga
Meditation
Contemplation
Recreation
Reading and Research "R and R"
Entertainment
Music: quiet or peppy as needed
Sleep/Rest/Nap
And the Biggies:
Me Time...outreach or autopilot resting and daydreaming
Carving out Time for Creativity
Art/ Writing
Connecting with Family and Friends in person if possible
Windows and Doors Open:
Categories of thought and action
Organization and streamlining
Linking seemingly unrelated topics together to create or fashion something new. Making order from chaos.
Vision Board: mind pictures
Mental "Folders" of topics available for information storage and retrieval.
Sensory Mapping
Creative process awakens
Today
I took a time out for 45 minutes to watch an older short movie called * The Red Balloon: "Fantasy. A balloon with a life of its own follows a boy around Paris." Remastered, the fine detail and precise color was stunning. Stones and wood looked touchable and realistic. Many neighborhoods were shown as the balloon followed the young boy down sharp rough cobblestone narrow streets and alleyways. Old church spires scraped the sky, smokestacks touched clouds.
Near the end, a throng of balloons in many colors surrounded the boy and engulfed him. He grabbed onto their tether strings and the balloons uplifted him "up up and away!"
Flights of Fancy help reset our outlook to continue on with a playful feeling and happy heart.
