December 2024 Newsletter

Happy Holidays beautiful beings.  I hope you are taking some time to enjoy the holiday season.  Speaking of taking some time.  I would like to take the time to encourage you to spend some time everyday doing self-care.  Especially during this time of the year.  Usually during this season, we find ourself hustling and bustling around trying to hurry and get things done for the holidays.  But did you know that if you take the time out every day to spend some time on yourself you will be able to accomplish more. A Zen proverb says, “if you don't have time to meditate for an hour, you should meditate for two hours.”  And so, this is true about self-care as well.  We all know you cannot pour from an empty cup.  

I know it is hard to find an hour in a day to focus on yourself.  Just think of how much you will be able to pour from your cup when you take that time every day to fill it.  I also know some of you feel like taking an hour of your day for yourself is selfish.  I assure you it is not! And if someone tells you it is, then they are probably putting too much on themselves and they probably could use a little self-care themselves.  

In today's go-go-go society, I am also sure that you may not be familiar with self-care so let me give you some amazing ideas.  A hot bubble bath.  A 60-minute restorative yoga class.  A 30-minute meditation.  A 30-minute walk in nature.  An hour-long coffee date with a friend you haven't seen in a while.  Spend some time journaling.  Take a nap.  Write 5-7 things you are grateful for.  Practice breathwork.  Dance.  Practice self-massage.  Read.  Do something creative.  Practice boundaries and saying, No.  Look in the mirror and say 3 nice things to yourself.  Have a DIY spa day.  If you really want to go all out crazy, no screen time for a whole day or no social media for a whole day!  These are just some ideas.  See what you can come up with.  Or you can always check out my offerings below.  

Self-care is not selfish
