Carpe Diem Day
The last couple of years have been challenging for many,
whether dealing with the pandemic, racial tensions, military actions or threat
of military actions, sicknesses, isolation, and so much more. Sometimes we get so overwhelmed and distracted
by all the negative things going on in our lives that we struggle or forget to
grab onto the good things going on in our life or the lives of those around us.
Self-care is especially important in a sometimes topsy-turvy world.
February 26 is celebrated
each year as Carpe Diem Day. The phrase
‘carpe diem’ or ‘seize the day’ reminds us to celebrate every joy and
opportunity that life has given us and live life to the best of our ability. We cannot change the past and we cannot
predict the future, as no day is guaranteed, so we should focus on making our
“today” the best we can make it.
Here are a couple ideas noted on nationaltoday.com for
activities that you can do on Carpe Diem Day:
·
Connect with loved ones. Take the day to make amends with someone,
practice positive affirmations, and do kind things for others. Do what you can
to connect with your loved ones.
·
Take a few deep breaths. Concentrate on deep breathing exercises.
·
Make a bucket list. Make a bucket list of all the big and small
things you want to achieve.
So take a moment, or several moments, throughout the day to
note those things you are grateful for at that moment, smile a little, and
“Seize the Day”!
