Ah,
summer. Now in Arizona the only thing you can say about summer is that
it is darn hot, well at least in southern AZ. Up here near Sedona we are graced
with at least 10 degrees cooler than Phoenix, our southern cousin. That doesn't
say much when it's over 110 degrees down there, now does it.
I’m sure it’s hot wherever you’re located as well.
With the heat comes a more lackadaisical attitude.
It’s just too darn hot outside to do most anything. Well you have a couple of
choices.
Yes you can sit on that couch and do almost
nothing, but what a great time to get out into nature, perhaps the beach if you find yourself near a salthy body of water. The forest, well that's even better as the tall pines shade you from the summer sun. If you're home with the AC running, well this is a pergect time to go within and take an accounting of yourself.
What a fabulous time to meditate.
Oh, you need to get something else accomplished?
Writing that novel, are you?
Well when I need to write and am plagued by
blocks and periods where I cannot get myself motivated, I use an interesting trick
in order to get back on track. I take a very cold shower. I jump in there with
tepid water, then turn the hot water all the way off until I can barely stand
the cold. Not only does it cool me down, it provides me with invigoration and
increased enthusiasm that I need to get to the tasks at hand. Yes it’s a bit shocking,
but so well worth it in the long run.
So the next time you are feeling sluggish, just surprise
your system and get back on track.
