"Take Time"

As I told you in my last post Maybe I'm the one to blame??, I absolutely love and adore the singer Ledisi. (Side note, I am going to see her in November with my brother @derrickthegent!) One of her older songs that I absolutely also love is Take Time. This live version of the song is absolutely amazing. Click on the link and check it out. (The video is not my own).

You got to take time to get away

Free your mind and fly away

Take time to get away

Free your mind and fly away 

Now that I am have started my classes, fulfilling Mission:Mind, Body .... & Heart, it seems like I never have enough time to do anything. I am either working on a paper, at my campus job or thinking about work that I should be doing. Are you in this situation? Doesn't it get a bit overwhelming at times?

I love this song because at one point Ledisi is saying you're rushing to get somewhere, but everything is going to be alright.

Sometimes you just need to take a minute and clear your mind. No matter how busy we are, we must find ways to relax. Without those breaks, we overwork our body and mind and end up with a Mariah Carey breakdown. I'm sorry but unless you have some MC money, you don't have time for these breakdowns.

For those of you who always have to have control, be free one day. Don't plan your day. Just wake up and see what happens. Sure, you may just end up lounging around the house all day drinking a bottle of wine and watching "Will & Grace" but it will feel great. Okay, maybe you don't watch "Will & Grace." Don't judge me.

Let go. Relax. Take time to enjoy life for what it is. You don't want January of 2012 to roll up on you and you have to look back and ask yourself, "Where did it go?"

Take thirty minutes out of your day to do NOTHING. Breathe a minute. Listen to music or read a book. You will find yourself feeling a lot better.

As AJ on 106 & Park use to say "Love - Live-Life." You only get one!
