Summer Miracles

For centuries, the practice of taking time out to do something different has been recognised as a sure-fire way of recharging your batteries, igniting your enthusiasm and solving problems. This 'getting away from it all' is sometimes called a sabbatical or going on retreat. We could all benefit from this simple procedure and you don’t have to spend a week as a hermit on a mountain top to do it. Just one day will release amazing benefits and the best part is that it doesn’t cost anything.

 When you put a little distance between yourself and your challenges or issues, you see them in a different light and from a different perspective.

You may even create a few miracles for yourself as a result. These will come as flashes of intuition that can lead you to take the action needed to resolve a problem. The Summer is a great time to do this.

Simply set a weekday date in your diary to take off to the countryside, the hills or the beach. Go by car, bike, train or on foot but go to somewhere that you have never been before and where you can be sure of some space alone. Set off early and plan to be out all day. Travel light and just wander around for the day, thinking of nothing, focusing on only the ‘now’ experience.

"I did this a couple of weeks ago and met just a few people along the route I took. Each one of them smiled at me with no prompting, something that would not have happened had I been walking along a busy path. To me that proved that we were relaxed and content in the peace of our own minds and environment. I returned feeling full of the joys of life."

Just by being in a different place, we can find that our thoughts turn to solutions and answers rather than problems and challenges.

Remember, you create in life what you think about it.

Go on – you deserve it and have a great time!
