This is a blog to follow up on the blog I did on The Art of Frugality. Even when I need and have to be frugal I am not very frugal with myself. It's pretty important especially if your going through a difficult time for whatever reason.
So what is the art of generosity towards yourself?
Find pleasure in the small things like.....
Fuzzy warm purring companions
Friends
Tea, Coffee or Hot Chocolate
A quiet moment or hours alone
A hot bath
A walk and sit in the park
Sweaters, socks, hats, leg warmers, and mittens
Reading a favorite book
Goalless sketching and art making
A hot oven or a warm floor heater
Cuddles with your life mate
Trance Dance
Chanting/Communion with God/Goddess
Watching snow flakes fall from the sky and the crunch of snow beneath your feet
Watching sun sets and or sun rise
Watching paynes grey clouds in the sky
Watching rain patter in puddles
A few bites of your favorite kind of chocolate melted in your mouth with tea or coffee
Listening to your favorite music anytime while doing anything or nothing
Playing your favorite board games with friends or games such as tetris
Playing your favorite instrument/instruments
Savoring space, stillness and silence with each breath
Watching a painting come together, savoring each brushstroke of texture and color
Allowing the mind space to wander to formulate poems in a special writing book of poems
Burning incense
Savoring a glass of wine, a mug of dark beer or a glass of Bushmills
Finding inspirational and motivational articles, blogs and youtube videos
Laughing, being silly and making other people really laugh
Finding comfort in the sentence "This too shall pass" and "Keep going"
These are a few of my favorite things.....
