Is it 11:30pm where I am?
Yes.
Did I spend too much time writing up something for another platform?
Yes.
So today's chapter is going to be really short but I can't let y'all have nothing today!
~~~~~~~~
I know most of you probably have trouble with treating yourself right. Maybe you've forgotten meals, maybe you don't rest when you need to, maybe you don't use lotion on cracking skin or drink enough water. I do the same. We've all down it at least once or a dozen times.
So today, let's do something nice.
Sit on the ground or somewhere soft and comfortable. Make sure there's plenty of room around you and it's a fairly quiet place. Maybe put on headphones to block the noise. No music though.
Good.
Now, lay down on your back. Trust me, if you've been bending/hunched over on a device all day, this is going to feel amazing.
Now, stretch the one part of your body that's begging to be stretched out.
Your leg, your arm, your back, wrists, fingers, toes, ankles, whatever.
Stretch it, rotate it, feel the muscles and bones and ligaments moving. Feel the skin flexing and changing as you move it.
Now, do it to the next area that wants to do the same.
Stretch it, rotate it, feel it moving under your silent commands. Notice how you immediately feel better, how the muscles relax easier now that you've down that.
Do the next area.
Feel it as it works, feel the way the bones shift in their sockets or against each other.
Do the next area.
And the next.
And the next.
Until you're all done and now your body is relaxed and melting into the thing you're laying on.
And just like that, you've eased the tension out of you.
Lay there for a bit longer though, take this moment to enjoy the silence. The stress free environment. You could be anywhere, the beach, the library, the forest in a clearing you call yours, anywhere.
Be there.
Lay there and soak up the feeling of being where ever you want to be feeling the most relaxed you've been since this morning if not longer.
Return whenever you want, or don't. Fall asleep there. Just enjoy it.
Live and simply be for a minute.
Trust me, you deserve it.
Stay safe kiddos!
Platonic love forever <3<3
