I have not been taking good care of myself lately- too much junk food or eating out, not enough exercise, not journaling or meditating or even reading good books! I have also not been connecting enough with friends/family. All of this lack of care is causing me to be more stressed, feel out of balanced and my blood pressure is inching up.
As a therapist I know better than to not care for myself. I know how important it is to take care of ourselves physically, emotionally and spiritually. But knowing we should do something and actually doing it are 2 different things!
I need more quality downtime; I need to move my body more; and I need to eat more wholesome foods.
What about you? Are you taking good care of yourself right now? What are some ways that you do care for yourself? What self-cares makes you feel best?
Well today, I shall go to the Y and do a workout. I will take a walk and cut up the watermelon and veggies in the fridge. I will eat at home.
Setting my intention for the day already makes me feel more calm and balanced.
Be gentle with yourself and others...
