Not strictly a writing prompt from the Measly Jar of Motivation…it hasn’t made it into the jar…yet.
The question caught my eye as I was adding fresh prompts to the jar recently.
So, what calms you?
There’s a variety of things that calm me… I feel a list coming on.
- A walk along the beach
- Writing/journaling/blogging
- Listening to music
- Yoga and reiki
- Reading (ideally sitting in the sun)
- Daydreaming
- Going to a concert
- Getting a hug (kitty cuddles are included here too)
There’s no one size fits all answer to this one. There are probably several other activities I could add to the list.
Taking just a few minutes out of your hectic day and spending them doing something that calms you isn’t a luxury. It’s self-care and we all need to get better at investing time in our day to practice it.
So do yourself a favour and take some time out this week to do something that calms you. Be kind to your wee self.
