Create Your Soft Landing

Make your home a comfy, cozy haven where you can chill and forget about the daily grind.

Let’s face it, our daily grind can really wear us down if we don’t make some time for ourselves. One way to ensure we have some chill time is to create a cozy spot at home where we can relax and unwind. Whether it’s a whole room or just a small corner, having a place to decompress and recover from the day’s stresses is key.

At home, we feel safe and secure, and we can forget about all the problems that are going on. Our homes are like a safe haven where we can relax and focus on our own needs and feelings.

If you want to find a cozy spot in your place, just take a look around. You’ve probably got a few places that you always chill in when you need to relax. That’s your landing pad! Just make sure it’s clear of clutter and stuff so you can relax in peace.

Any space where you can totally chill out! and let go of all that stress and anxiety is your new happy place. It could be a basement, attic, spare room, or even a storage area that’s collecting dust. Just add some stuff that makes you feel good, like a comfy chair, a cozy blanket, and maybe some candles. If you’re more of an outdoorsy type, hanging out in your garden or patio might be your thing. Either way, find a spot where you can just relax and be yourself.

There you have it—a few ideas for creating your landing pad. So go ahead and make that space your own, and enjoy some much-needed R&R!

Getting your chill zone ready can be as simple as swapping out all the mess with a few pretty things that make you feel relaxed. When you pick a spot for your landing pad, think about how much noise and movement there is. If you know that the regular hustle and bustle will bug you, find a quieter place.

Your comfy home should be a place where you can let out a sigh of relief and say, “This is my happy place! I can kick back and relax here. I feel safe and secure.” After a long day out there in the wild world, coming home should feel like wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket – it’s like everything just gets better. It’s the perfect place to recharge and get your head back on straight.

Peace, Harmony & Chill, Cheryl

Do Meditation At The Beach

Posted on May 3, 2024May 3, 2024 by Lifestyle-by-designs

Ocean Meditation

The ocean is like a giant mirror, reflecting back to us the depths of our own inner world.

The sea is a lot like us – it’s always changing. From afar, it might seem steady and the same all over, but if you get closer, you’ll see that it’s unpredictable, sensitive, and powerful. It’s like we have a lot to learn from the ocean, ’cause it’s kinda like a reflection of our inner selves. The waves crashing and the salty air can be really calming and refreshing.

Not everyone gets to live by the beach or even visit the coast, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the ocean. We all have pictures of the ocean in our heads, from things we’ve seen and read. We can use those mental images to help us chill out and feel better.

So, to get started, grab any beachy stuff you have lying around. Seashells, some sand in a jar, ocean glass, rocks that the waves have smoothed out, or a recording of the ocean’s sounds can help you get deeper into this meditation, but they’re not a must. Just sit back, chill, and start picturing the ocean in your mind. Let all your senses join in on the imaginary adventure.

Picture yourself standing there, on the beach, sand between your toes and the ocean breeze keeping you cool. The waves crash against the shore, making this crazy rhythm that’s so calming. Take a deep breath, and smell that salty air. Look up, and you’ll see the sun reflecting off the water, creating this amazing mix of colors that you can’t even believe are real. And if you’re lucky, you might even see some dolphins or whales playing in the waves. They’re there to make your day even better. Just chill out there for a few minutes and take it all in.

So, you’re chilling on the beach, gazing out at the ocean, and watching the waves come and go. Each wave brings with it healing vibes, you know? It’s like the ocean’s sending you love and light, the sun’s got your back, and Mother Earth’s grounding you in the present moment. Don’t forget to bring your journal!

Once you’re done, take a moment to be thankful to the ocean for its help. Don’t forget to thank the sun, the sand, and anything else from your imagination that guided you. Do this every day, week, or month to get rid of negative feelings and bring your emotions back into balance. The waves in our mind’s eye can clean our souls, just like the ocean’s tides wash away debris and keep the environment in check.

Peace & Harmony, Cheryl
