JULY: HAPPY CUDDLE & JOMO

When was the last time you cuddled and snuggled? Taking to comforters in July means cuddling and this is usually best done in a retreat where you can “power down” and relax.

This is what astrologer Monica Kissling says: In July, the stars display their sensitive side and then, stress and conflicts affect us more. Just like the zodiac sign of the sensitive cancer, we need possibilities to retreat and prefer to spend our time in a trusted and familiar environment. Because Mercury is declining, holiday plans will probably also have to be adjusted. If born in the homeland-loving sign of cancer, it would seem more sensible to opt for holidays on our balconies and to enjoy lazy summer evenings in the garden or on the terrace. A recommendation of the stars: create a cosy snuggle corner for yourself!

The stars show us what can really do us good in July: staying JOMO!
J O M O stands for ‘Joy Of Missing out’ and seldom has this social trend been so appropriate as in this month. So: stay at home and create a cuddle-up space just for you. Find a place to retreat on the balcony, in the garden or even on a sofa. Holidays at home can be truly relaxing and help us to listen to one’s inner self without distractions or daily chores: did I not see or not hear something? In the exact middle of this challenging year 2020, quality of time also makes us look back on the first six months and become aware of what went well – or not. Perhaps you’d like to make some changes in the second half of the year and if so, it is important to start it strengthened. Set course for the future with full batteries and confidence – it will work best if you fortify yourself beforehand in your personal retreat!

POWER LIES IN SERENITY

How does it work?
Setting up a cosy corner isn’t that difficult, and especially on smaller balconies and areas, this can sometimes be easier than in large open spaces. Cuddling means to retreat and to relax and therefore, the external space must be limited. A sofa, an armchair or a reclining surface should be designed for one, maximum for two people, a top providing additional security and protection – not only against wind and weather, but also against strong sunlight. For beautiful evening atmospheres, specialist shops provide stylish garlands as well as beautiful lanterns, candlelight also contributing to contemplative moments. Use lots of cushions and don’t forget a light summer blanket in case it should get a little cooler into the night. Give a try at summer duvets and pillows made with sustainability in mind: recycled PET bottles in a new application – environmental awareness can really be cool!
