I have been a member of a group called the Women in Business Connection (WIBC for short) in Cambridge, MA for about four years. We get together for lunch meetings once a month. Last week at our December event several of the women commented to me how much they liked my newsletter. It is always nice to hear complimentary feedback but one woman went even farther - she said it was like getting a "Zen moment" in her email. (Thanks Cibeline!)

--I turn off my phone Tiemoue Bakayoko Jersey , ignore email and descend into creative bliss when writing.
-- I take a moment to stare out a window and notice the way the rain, snow or sunshine is reflecting off the glass at just that moment.

--I take a deep breath and feel it extend my abdomen.
--I drive slowly and in silence.
--I rhythmically clean my house, cook a meal, wrap a gift or wash dishes (yes Thibaut Courtois Jersey , I sometimes like the feel soapy hot water on my hands).
--I sit anywhere and watch the world for a moment - the people, the trees and the clouds...whatever is happening in front of me from my vantage point.
