Take a Break
Our focus this week — Oct 1-7: “Faith”
Today’s MotD: Take a Break. When we find ourselves deep in worry about the near or distant future or fretting about the past, we’re encouraged to take a break, if only for a moment, to do something nice for ourselves. It could be something as simple as taking a deep breath, taking a quick walk around the block, or closing our eyes while reminding ourselves we are worthy of taking a break.
Anything that will help break the hold our fears have on us so that we can take back our power is an excellent maneuver. Here too we can remind ourselves of how many times in the past we’ve made it through other bouts of worry and we’re still here.
Essentially we’re being encouraged to take a break from victim mode and go into our self-empowerment mode, which includes some form of self care…and we are all worthy of self-care.
How about you ? Do you ever allow yourself to take a break from your fears and worry ? What would it feel like to take that break ? Can you allow yourself to do it right now—even if it’s only for 5 minutes or even 1 minute ?
BTW…Here’s the before…the front and back view of today’s puzzle piece and the pretty ceramic box that holds all my numbers from which I randomly choose each day’s puzzle piece number:

ABOUT THE 2025 Mandalas of the Day
Throughout the year, I’ll be building one large (48”x48”) Tibetan-styled Mandala one piece at a time…one puzzle piece at a time, that is. The mandala design and the reversed puzzle side were printed on artist-quality watercolor paper. The forward facing puzzle side was printed on a 48”x48” wood panel.
Each day, at random, I’ll be painting in watercolors one of the 365 watercolor puzzle pieces, that by the end of the year will become Archangel Mandala #4. Read more about the Archangel Series. The word/message for each piece will be inspired by Melody Beattie’s book “52 Weeks of Conscious Contact”.
Ultimately, the message of this mandala is about how we are all uniquely part of the one.
