It is important to take time for yourself each day — time to focus into your spiritual awareness, time to drop the physical concerns of the moment and once again become aware that you are spiritual, that you are divine, that you are, through your Soul, an extension of the supreme God.
– John-Roger (From: Loving Each Day, Volume 1, p. 248)
Take time for yourself every day, really? What a strange idea in this world where everyone is ticking off items on their to-do list. But imagine for a moment: what if, instead of diving headfirst into the worries of daily life, you took a small pause to remind yourself that you’re not just an individual searching for Wi-Fi or the perfect partner, but a divine soul, a true extension of the Supreme God? Yes, you. You might be stuck in traffic or battling with a stubborn photocopier, but beneath it all, there’s a spiritual being who deserves a moment to shine.
Reconnecting with that spiritual awareness is like plugging in your phone after a day without a charger. You can’t function forever on low battery, juggling work, errands, and the latest episode of your favorite series. So why not give yourself this luxury—and no, not a fancy coffee or an artisanal beer, but a few minutes of silence? You could even meditate a bit. And if someone catches you in full relaxation mode, you can always say you’re testing a new anti-stress alarm.
Letting go of physical concerns for a moment isn’t escapism; it’s reclaiming yourself. After all, we spend so much time thinking about our next meal or our next vacation that we forget the essential: we are so much more than what we eat or the places we visit. This is about reconnecting with your divine essence—even if you don’t feel particularly divine while hunting for your car keys that are somewhere nearby.
So, do it: take this moment to breathe, to feel, and to just be. Because deep down, that’s what we are: spiritual beings who deserve, at least once a day, a little “heavenly reconnection.” And if it makes you smile, even better: divine beings laugh and bring joy.
