change gears
Slow down, re-evaluate, redefine, re-prioritize, cleanse and declutter your life, your home, your mind, your body.
Stop trying to live a "normal" life as portrayed on tv or in magazines. See through the "keeping up with the Jones" illusion. Break free. Do you really need all the "stuff" you've accumulated? Is buying that newest, latest, greatest *thing* really all that important to who you are? To why you're here?
Leave toxic people, toxic thoughts, and toxic foods behind. Get rid of toxins in your life, in your home, in your thoughts, in your mind, and in your body.
Relax.
Do together the things that need to be done, drop the things that don't.
Life isn't about having, it's about sharing. It's not a race to see who wins, who has the newest or the shiniest or the most *anything*.
It's about being. Here. Now.
It's about loving and caring and giving, to and of yourself.
The 60's gave us "Tune in, turn on, and drop out" - sage advice. Tune into yourself and life, turn on your inner energy, drop out of the rat race. Get off society's hamster wheel and enjoy being alive, being here, being you, being together.
Quit existing to pay the bills, start living. Don't live at each other, don't live with each other, live for each other - and for yourself.
Do the above, and you'll have no need to take anything to get in the mood.
