 Time Out To Daydream

 

When was the last time you were at home with no fixed agenda? Nothing planned, not having to rush anywhere by any particular time, no structure, no deadlines? This is our idea of heaven! What about you? Imagine, waking up knowing that you have a whole day ahead of you that's clear of any commitments. You may slowly get up, make yourself of cup of tea and curl up in your favourite, comfy chair. As you sit there sipping your tea, you may let yourself drift off into a state of blissful, fuzzyness. Occasionally, you may notice some of the familiar, morning sounds drifting in from the outside, like birds singing or cars driving past.  One of our greatest and simplest pleasures is to have nothing to do – just to be. To let our brains go into neutral and daydream. Actually, consciously allowing ourselves to space out does our brain a great deal of good. Brain areas associated with complex problem-solving, previously thought to go dormant when we daydream, are in fact highly active during these times.

Honouring the Midlife Woman

Does the thought of your own midlife fill you with dread or loathing or does it give you a sense of your own power, wisdom and creative possibility? As our hormones struggle to find balance, symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, decreased sex drive, irritability, depression, etc., are experienced by many women. These hormonal shifts also affect our brain and often make us acutely aware of any injustice, inequity and lack of fulfillment in our lives. It’s a time when many women find their voice and feel compelled to use it as an expression of their inner truth.
