As we gear up for this Sunday’s post (which is going to be a good one!!!) I challenge you to really think about your self-care. Do you practice REAL self-care? I too enjoy a good bubble bath, but I also enjoy knowing by blood pressure numbers.
Let’s affirm ourselves today:
- I will nourish my body with food that feeds me…
- I will take breaks and rest my ruminating mind….
- I will retreat when I’m overwhelmed….
I wrote a post on this topic early this year and continue to reflect upon it. Recently I added the tool to both my work and personal planners. That’s how important it is to me.
Use this tool to fill in your plan and place it somewhere visible every day.
