How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?
JetPack Prompt – 6/3/23
At the end of April each year, it begins to rain every afternoon as South Florida’s seasonal climate becomes perpetually muggy. Many local people reference this phenomenon to the beginning of hurricane season requiring them to get busier keeping up on the latest weather reports or stocking up on needed supplies in the event of a storm. But as for me, I look at the rainy season absent of tourists as the ideal time to slow down and unplug from life’s normal routine.
So I reason that the sensory presence of such constant rainfall stimulates me to be more aware of my present surroundings each day. Such watery sensations might also release my mind from current stress that’s happening to me on a given day. For example, I might stare out my living room window and clear my mind of an upcoming deadline commitment by watching raindrops steadily fall in “pitty pat” fashion.Or I might just turn away the negative chatter reported on my electronic devices and simply listen to the approach of a thundering storm. When the rain disappears, there’s also a noticeable cool in the air that often replenishes my mind for awhile. Have a listen to the sights and sounds of summer rain yourself.
