There are days

There are days you hit the snooze button on the alarm and wake up an hour later, lost as to how that happened.

There are days when you have no desire to do absolutely anything that you ought to.

There are days you simply want to get lost – body and mind – and do absolutely nothing, because that too rejuvenates you.

There are days when you are caught in an endless loop of thoughts – of ‘what ifs’ and ‘if so’ and ‘why now’s. Thoughts that tamper with your mood and require unravelling and meditation to bring you back.

There are days when your perspective can be summed up in an entire phrase – that by Alexander Den Heijer: “When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.”

There are days, therefore, when all you really need is to change your surroundings – even for a while – to gain new insight into the world around you. To alter your lens, to control your thoughts, to broaden your vision. So you can return stronger, more determined, and more open to modifying your daily habits.
