To smell or not to smell…

Do you take time to stop and smell the roses?
To smell the roses is a term typically used to describe < it’s about having a strong focus in life, but also taking time to enjoy all the small things>.

I have little to no social life since everything they breathe is wrapped around one thing.



our kids to the park and dedicate some uninterrupted play time, paint a picture…….

Catching on yet?

Being “ON” all the time, you WILL burn out. It’s not a matter of IF, it’s a matter of WHEN. By allowing our self time to be “OFF” we have a chance to reenergize and come back to a situation relaxed, fresh, and ready.

ITS LIKE A LIGHT BULB. If it’s on all the time and never gets turned off- even the 5 year guaranteed ones -it will burn out much faster. Then what? You throw that bulb in the trash.



So, YES! I say SMELL ON! Stop and smell the roses as often as needed.

Mantras :
Stop and smell the roses
Slow down
I will NOT be the bulb that burns out
I deserve to relax and unwind
How do I feel? Do I need to down time?
It’s okay to be off, so I can shine              brighter when I turn back on.
