{Five-Minutes to Ease}

Dear Bride-to-be:

Yes, you’ve heard me say over and over how important it is to have a little quiet reverie in your day during your busy wedding planning time. And you’ve said, “I want to, but just don’t have the time!”

Okay, try this: Don’t add it to your “to do” list—it’s much too long anyway! And don’t think of it as “something else to do,” but more like a luscious gift to give yourself. Just say: “I’m taking care of myself inside and out today!”

Start now...it only takes five minutes. YOU deserve it!

Sitting quietly with your eyes closed, breathing through your nose, count each deep, slow inhale (one) and long, soft exhale (two), inhale (three), exhale (four); continue slowly until you get to thirty. And if you lose count, just start over at number one. Like planning your wedding, it’s not a race to the finish line; it’s a journey to enjoy as you explore your true heart’s desire.

Love. Listen. Let go.
...with love from Cornelia
