Self-Care

Self-care is so important when it comes to improving your life.  You can not pour from an empty glass. 

In order to be any sort of help to anyone, including yourself, you need to make time to replenish your energies.  

From all the stress of work, family and bills, we need to take time for ourselves to replenish our energy so that we can tackle our issues with a clear mind.  

To clear your mind, you can meditate, journal and take time in nature.  Do what makes you happy whether that be reading, exercising or spending time with your pets. 

In order to be there for other people, you need to be there for yourself.  Take time to replenish, to realign. 

You will come out a better person, better able to conquer difficulties, rested and able to pour from a full cup. 

Take time to work on you so that you can be a better person. 

• You can not change other people but you can change yourself and how you react. 
• You can change yourself so that other people will see the difference. They will want to know what you are doing and what they can do to meet you at your level. 

This has happened to me  with co-workers.  They wanted to know what I was doing because they noticed that I was healthy, mind,  body and soul. They wanted to know why I looked younger and had more energy.  

This wore off.  I did not take the time to replenish myself.  I kept pouring from and empty cup and that “glow” eventually wore off.  Take the time for yourself. 

Take the time to:

• Have a bath
• Eat healthy foods 
• Drink plenty of water 
• Spend time in nature
• Spend time with your animals
• Declutter

Once you achieve this, you will not always have it.  Sadly you will always need to work on yourself and do what it takes to replenish your cup.  The good thing is, is that you already know. 

You already know what it takes to make your soul happy.  The turn around time will be short and you will spend less time in a stressful state.   Things that once gave you tremendous of stress or unhappiness will no longer affect you.
