Escaping In My Mind

Sometimes the summer causes us to want to scream! The heat alone can make you want to stay inside, depending on what part of the world you live in.



Many things happen right before summer approaches. Family members graduate from one level in life to the next. In my recently released novel, my character Jasmine is graduating and the one thing she is stressed about is the desire to see her family that she can't rely on to be supportive. Isn't that how life goes? You work hard and you still hope to have someone cheering for you in your corner or any corner. 



Summer can be dreadful depending on what part of the stick you are on. End of school term celebrations, end of work quarter reviews, family reunion, class reunions, holidays, and birthdays...all come piling down at once. There's family you have to prepare your mind to see, there are vacations you plan to take and those you dread to take. There are co-workers you have to play nice with, while wishing that maybe someone will call you out of the meeting. After the few months pass you reflect and say "What the hell just happened?"


Instead of waiting until the end of the summer to reflect, consider planning time for you. Four escapes that will help you have peace of mind have to be on your list of things for you!

Meditate: Be a best friend to yourself. Go to a spa, pamper yourself with a manicure and pedicure. Think of positive words of affirmation, as you let your mind escape the normal day to day activities.

Create: Grab your arts, crafts and wine! Sketch, paint or draw a canvas using the colors that reflect inspiration!

Read: Escape by reading a book you bought to help you challenge that issue you are dealing with. Or read the new installment from the Chance series "Not By Chance" to help inspire you and help you escape a world of bliss!

 Nature: Sit with nature. Go hiking on a trail and let yourself free as nature speaks to you.

Remember its summer and even you deserve to escape the day to day! Plan for you today!
