Create a Self Care Practice for the New Year
Winter and end of the calendar year can be a great time to reflect upon the past year and the upcoming one. I encourage you to take time to be still and ponder:
- the things that worked for you
- the things that didn’t
- the changes you’d like to make
- the manifestations you’d like to create
After that, I invite you to put a Self Care practice into place for your new year. This exercise takes a little time and should not be rushed. After meditating on these things, I suggest writing them down like you might do for a business plan. I also suggest sharing them with like minded friends to help empower your intentions and to speak them out loud. Lastly, don’t forget to ask Higher Power for support in these efforts.
When writing your plan, make three columns. Body. Mind. Spirit. Under each column, write the ways that you feel guided to better care for each aspect of Yourself. We must remember we are three part beings, by taking care of all, we can truly create balance, versus only taking care of one or two aspects, which can leave us imbalanced. Be realistic when setting your goals. By setting the bar too high, we can sometimes set ourselves up for disappointment. Passion for living well and self care is a truly worthwhile investment to make in your New Year. All the best with your practice of Self Care.
