What’s in a tea moment? Tea moments are a perfect way to take a break during our hectic daily schedules; to relax and enjoy a few moments alone. This week we explore ‘alone time’ and hope you’ll reflect on how it works best for you.
We all need ‘alone time’ at some point during the day. Alone time benefit us by momentarily releasing the thoughts and worries of the day while we focus on something completely different or don’t focus at all and just be. Ahhh…
We instinctively know when our children need alone time and give them quiet time, a time out or a nap. But we often don’t see the signs in ourselves and neglect this essential need. When we don’t give ourselves some alone time we often become stressed out, short tempered or ultimately worn out and sick.
“It is only when we silent the blaring sounds of our daily existence that we can finally hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it stands knocking on the doorsteps of our hearts.” – K.T. Jong
