Slow Down, Take some Time and Appreciate some of the Little Things!

For a long time a mantra of mine has been,
"Baby Steps and Little Wins."


So often we're either too busy, working too much, going too fast or just have too much on our minds to notice some of the wonderful things that surround us. Now, I'm by no means saying to stop working towards your goals, but everyone needs time to just stop, reflect and ideally connect with some beauty around them.

We don't win in life nor fix our problems overnight...everything important requires a long, slow process. So find yourself a little win just by slowing down and looking around.

Here are a few things that I've found.














And of course...the obligatory Kitty Pic!!

beautiful pics and lovely thoughts. it's true, sometimes, we just need to take a pause and appreciate the finer aspects of life!

Thank you!
Lately I've seemed to skirt the edge of burning myself out...so I have to start forcing myself to consciously take some time to just...be. :)

beautiful photo

Thank you! :D

So beautiful! I'm looking forward to my own nature therapy later today :) Thank you for sharing @sykochica ~ Much Love!

Thank you! Heh..I never thought of it in the sense of Nature Therapy, but it's an excellent term! I like it! :D

Take a step off the hamster wheel and catch your breath. (Until you see the picture of the cat. As a hamster, that inspires terror!)

Hahah! That's great!

  • Try to stay positive ! Happy steeming !

Excellent work @sykochica! Bravo! Have a good day!

Thank you!!

How true @sykochica ! I just planted my first little garden 2 weeks ago and it's already a mini-jungle! Anticipating some corn, squash, peas, cucumber, tomatoes and even a pumpkin in time for Thanksgiving this year, so happy :) Cute kitty !!HA

Oh nice! My friend @dragons in particular would be rather jealous. Lol

Amazing post <3

I love the white one

Thank you!
I almost didn't include that one since it didn't have the same 'pop' of color the others did...but I'm glad I did. :)

Great mantra, I love it!

Thank you! :D
I'm pretty sure the baby steps part came from that old movie, "What About Bob." lol

nature is beautiful

Flower power! :)

Hehe..now I can shoot fireballs!

Oh, this pink hydrangea is perfect (2nd pic)! thank you, @sykochica for sharing these photos. Follow you:)

Hehe, I actually have had no idea what all of these were called. While I've enjoyed looking at them, figuring out the names hasn't quite happened yet. Thank you for letting me know what that one was named. :)
