Welcome to your ✨Monday Moment✨

Take a deep breath in. Hold it. Exhale.

Pick a colour 🔴 🟠 🟡 🟢 🔵 🟣

Find the moment below with that same colour, then go to the closing moment at the end.

Take a moment to….

🔴 … learn a new word: Aenonian adj. (Greek derivation) eternal, everlasting, ageless.

Take a moment to….

🟠… think about when you were younger. What did being old mean to you? Now you’re a bit older, what does being old mean to you now?

Take a moment to….

🟡… place one hand on your chest and one hand on your tummy. Have a clock or timer nearby and for approx 30 seconds count how many slow deep breaths you take. Do this any time you are feeling time is flying too fast and you need to slow down a bit.

Take a moment to….

🟢… think about some foods and drinks that get better with time…other than wine ☺️

Take a moment to….

🔵… listen to some tunes from a decade you aren’t familiar with, find a new favourite vibe.

Take a moment to….

🟣… ponder the fact that in nature, the species thought to have the shortest lifespan is the mayfly. Once hatched from their eggs they only live up between 9 minutes and 24 hours. Whereas the longest life span is thought to be the immortal jellyfish…the name kind of gives it away.

Take another deep breath. Hold it. Exhale. Smile. Take time this week to remember that ageing should be relished and honoured, not feared and cursed. Embrace each day as it comes, each grey hair as it appears, and let each wrinkle be a reminder of how many emotions you have experienced so far. Embrace all the time you’re given 💙
