Holiday Escapes

Ways to Slow Down and Reflect

By Karen Susman

Pages:  1  2  

  • Say or read a spiritual prayer or poem.
  • Watch a fire in the fireplace.
  • Get a massage.
  • Play a card or board game.
  • If you play a musical instrument, dust it off and play for five minutes.
  • Dance in your kitchen.
  • Daydream.
  • Sing. Sing with your family. Sing along to holiday CDs.
  • Get a manicure or pedicure.
  • Buy a magazine that you usually read standing in line at the grocery. Set aside a delicious time to hunker down and read it cover to cover.
  • Share hugs with someone you love.
  • Thank your service providers in person – the mailperson, garbage collector, etc. They'll appreciate it, and you'll feel great.
  • Go to a funny movie.
  • Stop to realize that these moments will never come again.
