Your
Private Haven
We know, we know: The
fax has to be sent immediately, the project should have been finished
yesterday, you have two back-to-back meetings downtown in an hour...
When the pressures of city living threaten to unhinge you, stop!
Take an hour, thirty minutes, or even fifteen -- to just sit in
your balcony garden and be.
Go offline. Meditate.
Blow bubbles. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Soak up the rays
or drink in the moonlight. Breathe deeply. Relax. Take off the stress.
Take off your shoes. Take the phone off the hook.
Keep your sanctuary restful
yet stimulating with neutral furnishings, whimsical lamps and cool-colored
flowers. Hang a wind chime outside to soothe your jangled nerves
with silvery music. Let aromatherapy candles waft you away to a
simpler time. Muffle the incessant noise of traffic with the happy
gurgle of a miniature fountain or waterfall surrounded by greenery.
Concoct your own garden-fresh herbal tea to sip as you contemplate
the next opening bud.
Yes, that's right, we
said "opening bud." Don't even think about checking your
e-mail.
