It is easier to create a balance when you take time to do things you enjoy. Pure enjoyment opens your mind, lifts your spirit, and heals your body. Today I welcome you to be present and engaged with a joyful activity.

During this cold winter, my joyful moments include playing with my children, reaching out to a new or old friend, providing an opportunity for someone to have an ah-ha moment, or curling up and watching Survivor (yes, Survivor is joyfully entertaining).

Choose to take time for yourself. Life is not all about routine tasks and to-do lists. Choose to renew your energy and feel the joy. Your body, mind, and spirit will reward you with more energy, more focus, and more resistance against stress.

Enjoyment is like art, it is in the eye of the beholder. Do what makes you happy.

Take time today, even if it is only five minutes, and thoroughly feel the sense of enjoyment .
