Mindful Monday - August 10th
Hello wonderful people!
And a special hello to those of you who are wonderful but may not be feeling particularly wonderful for one reason or another. To you I say, "You are special - you are valued - and you are indeed wonderful. Go forth and be your wonderful self." :)
Need a little help smiling?
Check out this beautiful calf who runs to the girl who raised her.
How about this super chic elderly couple modelling clothes left behind in their laundromat? I wanna be that cool!
Did you hear about the three men who were rescued from an island after writing ‘SOS’ in the sand? It actually worked.
On a more sombre note…
Err Houston, we have a problem – apparently we have too much champagne! Yep, this is real. Conservative estimates suggest that 100 million bottles of champagne will be left un-enjoyed this year due to the lack of global celebrations, and crisis talks will be soon be under way to decide what to do with this year’s harvest, with two of the options being to destroy the grapes or make sanitiser out of them. Sacré bleu!
Ok, onto slightly more practical things…
Many of you may still be doing the work from home thing and maybe looking for an office chair upgrade. Here's a solution to the infamously annoying, standard desk chair wheels: Rollerblade wheels. Yep, by swapping out the boring and easily jammed, original wheels, you'll be racing down your hallway in no time.
But seriously...
30-year thinking. What would you enjoy working on for the next 30 years? Who would you enjoy spending time with for the next 30 years? How do I want to feel for the next 30 years? These, amongst others, are great questions that Nat Eliason suggests we spend some time pondering in order to help clarify what's really important to us. These seemingly simple cues have already helped me figure out what post-pandemic life will (hopefully) look like.
Peace,
Luke X
P.S. If you want to finish on a funny note, watch this pigeon try to hold onto a wing of a plane as it takes off (the plane, not the pigeon).
