One way to celebrate life—and to care for yourself—is to pause in the midst of chaos and give yourself time to breathe and be grateful.

Creating a whimsical lavender tablescape can be inspired by so many things. In this case, as I walked through my garden, I was moved to “smell the lavender,” as they say, and make something beautiful.

And as I did, I celebrated. But what was there to celebrate, you may ask.

Too often, we’re bogged down by life’s daily routines. We feel we have no choice but to say, “I am so busy. I don’t have time to stop.” In other words, we react to what the world brings us.

If we choose to be our own champion, though, we reverse the situation. Instead of reacting to stress, we take charge of our response to it. We have to eat lunch, anyway, regardless of our stress level, so we might as well make it pleasant. Make a healthy sandwich, place it on a nice plate, and sit and enjoy that sandwich, even if you only have 15 free minutes.

You have to CHOOSE to take charge of how you deal with your life and its peaks and valleys. Keep the reins of your life in your hands. PAUSE in the midst of chaos, breathe, and be grateful for the chance of repositioning your perspective.

Pausing has become a big part of my life now. I spend lunchtime in my living room grateful for so many things: the meal in front of me, the plate I am eating off of, the chair I am sitting on. Lunchtime is when I appreciate all the greatness that has come into my life.

The silence in pausing can also give you the answers you seek. Once you get them, that’s certainly an occasion to celebrate.

See if you can start doing it today. “Smell the lavender” throughout the day and take care to use a positive response in place of a negative reaction.
