Hi {{ subscriber.firstName | default('love') }}
How are you? Hope that you've enjoyed some blissful moments this week! The little things :).
I cleaned and organized all day yesterday and it was EVERYTHING. HAHA! NOT KIDDING, I promise it was great. It was exactly the self care I needed this weekend and heading into showing up IN FULL as I want to next week.
Self-care is any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health. Sure, it's sometime a mani-pedi, or the occasional spa resort trip (ahh, those are the dreamy self care practices!). BUT more often than not (for me at least), it's catching a breath on a busy day or making sure that I schedule my yoga and actually do it - because I know that when I do, I'm more grounded and show up better everywhere else. It's wiping down my kitchen every night because I know it makes me feel better the next morning than when it's a mess. And it's taking a Saturday to clean and organize sometimes (bonus points for enjoying it at the same time!) because it rocks my world in the best way when my space reflects calm and concise.
5 minutes to self care. Plan it out today (you might even enjoy this exercise)! Brain dump or meditate what exactly it is that you need this week for you. For your mental, emotional and physical self. For your mind, body and HEART. What is it that you need this week to feel fully you and give the world your lips turned up to the sky?! If it's hopping on the next plane to Bali - haha, I'm with you sister. So where the extreme may not be possible to its FULL capacity, recreate it in the best way you can. Then actually make it happen. Schedule it, with alarms on full blast. Sticky note every surface you glance at to remind yourself. Be excited about it and honor it. Then enjoy it and let it provide the refresh that you need.
Ahhh.
Who knew that 5 min of planning for the week could mean the world?
