Spa breaks for action? Sounds like a mixed metaphor,
doesn’t it? Well, yes, taking time to nurture yourself,
relax in a supportive environment and “just be” for a few
days each month can contribute lots of space for new ideas
and creativity to flow. Come to think of it, you can
organize a “spa break” within each day or each week also!
In this busy Western culture of ours, the doing thing comes
automatically to most of us. Taking down time for rest and
relaxation seems lazy and or unproductive, when, in fact, it
is actually a way to regroup, refuel, and renew energy for
the next projects.
Have you clarified what you’d like to be doing by the end of
this year? Are you on track in that direction? Is there
something niggling at your inner creative space that wants
to be born as you are reading this?
As life coaches, we take so much pleasure in supporting our
clients into the next phase of their lives. Whether it be
to change careers, purchase a vacation home, create a piece
of art, write and publish a book or some other dream unique
to them, we have the privilege of walking along the path as
cheerleader mostly, sometimes mentor and sometimes task
master as they move ahead one small action at a time. What
does this have to do with the spa you might ask? We know
that taking time to nurture yourself (whether it be your
inner artist, inner speaker, inner gardener, inner
politician or the inner thing unique to you) provides
exactly the space from which clarity can flow.
Are you ready to be clear? Would you like to decide which
of the many ideas you have is most aligned with your
purpose? Speaking with a life coach can provide needed
clues. That is the reason we’ve chosen to offer a no cost
conversation with the coaches the first Monday of every
month. It’s our pleasure to support others and facilitate a
virtual community over the telephone where people support
each other; the resource box below provides details. And,
in the meantime, if it’s not feasible to leave home to
attend your favorite spa today, create a spa environment by
setting aside a couple of hours in a relaxing space where
you can be uninterrupted…have paper handy and just sit.
Breathe. Appreciate. Count your blessings. Ideas will
flow and you’ll see that taking a spa break really does lead
to authentic action ideas (even if it’s just taking out the
trash first to clear the path).
Regardless of the season of the year, you can always invent
a reason for a new beginning, a fresh start, a variation on
your theme. Yes – you can live the life of your dreams.
Yes – you can bring forth that contribution you are uniquely
suited to do. Saying, “Yes” to it all is a start and, in
addition to the many active ways you say yes, consider the
spa break as well.
