Why You Don't Need More Time for Self Care
I really appreciated the article below. I am consistently encouraged to participate in "self care" and I honestly kind of get irritated by that additional demand. I know it's important, but so is everything else. I like considering this as a smaller change and seeing benefit. I hope you enjoy this article and can take just a piece away and do some "self care" for you this season in a non intrusive, still doing the rest of your life kinda way!
Randi Kay: I define self-care as the act of tuning into your true needs and then acting accordingly. By this, I mean a) you take a moment to check in, b) listen to that wise part of yourself, c) and then act on what you hear.
That may look like items on your to-do list, such as getting a massage, going to therapy, or having a solid morning ritual. But the real magic happens when you bring self-care into your everyday life. And a great way to do this is to make tweaks to your current activities, or self-care power ups, as I like to call them.
