46/52: May Review

Mental stimulation is about challenging, engaging, or exercising your brain. Reading, completing puzzles, and learning new skills keeps your brain and thinking sharp and aids in increasing dopamine and serotonin levels, which improve mood and motivation.

Creativity, on the other hand, helps in releasing stress, processing emotions, and nurturing well-being in ways that words and logic can't.

Both types of activities create room for self- expression, experimentation, and exploration. They impact our moods, help us to be more mindful and self-aware, and help us to feel accomplished while exercising the muscle that is the brain.

How have you engaged your brain through stimulation or creativity this year? If mental self care has been minimal, this weekend may be a great time to start!

See you on Sunday as we continue our review.

46/52: May Review

In a world where we are constantly scrolling, we can easily drown in news, opinions, and highlight reels. The truth is that not all information deserves our attention.
Furthermore, it's important to filter our feeds to protect our minds.
How have you curated your content this year? Ensuring that you minimize those accounts, reels, etc. that bring you down and maximize those that uplift.

Your brain isn't meant to process everything at once. There must be limits and boundaries.
This is also true to your work life. There will always be one more task to complete and one more email to respond to. Were you able to set a shut-off time and stick to it?
Both these challenges may seem difficult at first but have long-term benefits.
If you did not complete during the month of May, consider putting these measures in place now as you get ready to enter a new year.
Here's wishing you a week where you can log off to level up.

45/52: April Review

Another element of physical self care is keeping up with our necessary medical examinations over the year. From dental to vision to gynecological and general medical, there are a number of tests and exams we need to have on a yearly basis. These keep us informed of our health status and serve as preventative maintenance tools.

When we stay on top of these exams, we have greater peace of mind, and the final challenge of April becomes much easier, that of pampering ourselves.

Pampering is what the majority of us envision when we think self care. The extra enjoyable stuff.
We all deserve to be treated ever so often.

When you look back on the year, have you kept all the maintenance appointments? How much pampering have you gotten in?
Let us know below.

Join us on Sunday as we continue our review.

45/ 52: April Review

I've always heard that when we look and smell good, we feel good. It gives us a pep in our step.

In April we looked at Physical Self Care and acknowledged that good hygiene and grooming impact our mental health by boosting our confidence and esteem, enhancing our social connections, helping us to create healthy routines and structure and improving mental clarity through telling our brains that we matter.

Another element is our posture and mobility. Good posture not only helps with physical alignment but also enhances confidence. Standing tall and sitting with proper posture can make us feel more grounded, focused, and strong.

Stretching also helps us connect with our bodies. This awareness is key for long-term health and overall well-being, helping us notice tension or discomfort before it becomes a bigger issue.

How has your physical self care improved over the year? Let us know below.

44/ 52: Review

Another two elements of emotional self care are Expressing Emotions and Affirming Self.

When we express emotions we:
1. Reduce stress: Bottling up feelings can make stress worse. Letting it out helps your body and mind relax.
2. Improve Relationships: Authentic communication strengthens connections and builds trust with others.
3. Boost Self-Understanding: By acknowledging your feelings, you learn more about yourself and grow emotionally.

Affirming self highlights the importance of the voice. The brain believes what it hears most often. So we want to practice speaking positive over negative. If we could harness the power of our voice for good, by replacing self-doubt with affirmations, self-encouragement, and gratitude, we’d be building a mental foundation based on trust, self-love, and confidence.

Emotional self care, is seldom thought of, but integral in any self care routine. Let's ensure that we include it going forward.

See you on Sunday as we continue our recap.

44/ 52: Review

We have come to the last few weeks of the year and its time to review and cement all that we have discussed. Our challenge was based in self care and addressing each type in various ways.
After setting the foundation and focusing on loving ourselves we turned our attention to emotional self care. Two elements of this type of self care are Setting Boundaries and Practicing Self Compassion.
Boundaries refer to the limits we set for ourselves in terms of how much we’re willing to give, tolerate, or engage with others in various aspects of our lives—emotionally, physically, and mentally. These boundaries help protect our well-being, define our personal space, and allow us to maintain a healthy sense of self.
Healthy boundaries protect our energy, teach others how to treat us and reduce our stress.
Self - compassion is the practice of treating yourself with the same kindness, care, and understanding as you would a close friend, especially during times of struggle, what we consider failure, or emotional difficulty.
Self compassion involves acknowledging that we are human, being kind to ourselves and being mindful of our emotions without applying judgement.
These two steps are integral in our emotional self care.
How did you do with these challenges? Let us know!

Is the budget completed?
I must admit that when I started working on mine, I concluded that it makes financial sense to buy nothing. Just treat the holidays/ end of December like any other month, and we will be ok 😀.

Maybe you reached a different conclusion.

Regardless, I hope the value of budgeting was underscored and it is a habit you will carry into new seasons.

Join us on Sunday as we start our recap of self care types to round out our year.

43 / 52: Holiday Budget

24/10/2025

An emergency fund is an often overlooked element of financial self care.
Hopefully, this week, we were all prompted to start- or consider starting- our own. It not only creates a cushion for the inevitable but provides an avenue through which we can better cope with the stress that the unexpected brings.

If you haven't started, let today be the day.

Join us on Sunday for the final challenge in our look at financial self care.

42 / 52: Emergency Fund

17/10/2025

Enough is an interesting term, as it is relative to the individual using it. What is enough for you? Enough money, land, investments.....what type of home or car is enough? Having the answer to that question is vital in understanding your emotional reaction to money and your financial self care.

I hope this week was revealing, and you are now well on the way to determining what financial self care looks like for you.

See you on Sunday for the next challenge.
