Quick! Name Three of Your Favorite Things
How Do They Help You Stay Spiritually Grounded?
You might very well be able to name 10 favorite things, but what rises to the top three spots? And why am I even asking you this?!
In a society and time when so many distractions can pull you into frustration and chaos, it’s good to know which of your three favorite things can quickly ground you. I have learned the powerful benefit of aromas. Sometimes I will grab an essential oil and take a quick whiff or a long whiff, depending on how off-balance I’ve become.
Or sometimes I grab my favorite, smooth rock. I don’t need to do anything with the rock. Just holding it eminds of the day I walked on the beach and found that rock, which draws me into a moment of pause.
But, if I’m being honest, my three favorite things are:
1. A cup of hot tea
2. Being on an airplane
3. Doing something creative (writing, painting, or making tea blends)
In a sense, any of those three favorite things invite me into a space of quiet and meditation. I am welcomed into my spiritual grounding, connecting me to my body, mind, and soul.
