Summertime Downtime — A Good Time to Slow Down & Listen to Your Soul

“When you honour the calling of your soul, even when it needs to be quiet & still, what is going to come forth from that is going to be way better than what your ego mind is trying to push forth right now.”

– Marie Forleo

Sometimes we don’t realize how exhausted we are…

Until we stop.

That happened to me recently. I had just returned from a rather epic road trip to Calgary to visit family and was back home again, unpacking and happily puttering in my lovely garden on Vancouver Island when suddenly, I couldn’t keep my eyes open. So I took a nap.

The next day it happened again. So I napped again. And when I woke up, I had the wisdom to just sit in my beautiful garden, looking at the gorgeous flowers and listening to the birds….and my soul.

And what did my soul whisper to me?

“More of this, please.”

More solitude.

More quiet.

Less people.

More writing.
