Whenever you are feeling less than good, if you will stop and say, Nothing is more important than that I feel good—I want to find a reason now to feel good, you will find an improved thought.

Anytime you feel negative emotion, you are in the mode of resisting something that you want, and that resistance takes its toll on you. It takes its toll on your physical body, and it takes its toll on the amount of wonderful things that you are allowing to come into your experience.

Thank you for being on this self care journey with me this month. I know by being accountable on here I have shown up for myself every day and these little pockets of time have definitely helped me each day. This is not polished but it’s my little gift to you during this time that can be full of joy, but can also be a tough time too . Christmas Eve and I’d like to invite you to take a moment to sit and be present to where you are. takeamomentforyourself

Day 23 - I feel the need to journal. Sometime when I let things get on top of me, I can feel my body getting more tense and it’s not always obvious what is making me feel like that so in that moment I have learnt that by writing my feelings down, it’s a space for me to vent, metaphorically stamp my feet and say all the stuff I want to say but would be really hurtful. It is a space to validate safely how I’m feeling, then this is where the magic happens, as I’m a writing it helps uncovers what’s underneath it all. Breathe. Now I’m able to speak my truth and I feel my body calm. How are you doing?

Day 22 - self-care advent and today I choose to sit in quiet with a guided meditation before I go to bed.
It’s been a busy day and I need to sleep 💤 😴
Looking forward to baking with the children tomorrow 🤗

Day 21 - today I have started my day being absorbed in music and this week so many times I have used music to soothe myself. I will share my playlist below if you fancy taking a listen or you choose whatever triggers relaxation in you 🎵🎶🤗 💚

Day 20 - today for self-care advent I choose to ground myself before doing anything else. Been awake quite early so I had a bath, done a seven minute meditation which keeps anchoring you back to your breath drifting in and out and have come out into my garden to drink my morning brew and feel my feet on the Earth.. it’s actually really calming being out here so early and sitting in the dark, despite it being nearly 730 now! Can you prioritise yourself this morning before you do anything else? What does that look like?

Day 19 - today is one of my client days and I have had a busy one, it feels like a day that I’ve just been chasing my tail all day! So today I choose to finish my workday to pause and breathe. Relaxing my shoulders. Bringing my awareness back into my body and my breath.. remember you can always come back to your breath

Day 18 - today I have quite a rich self care day in amongst seeing my own clients which I’m so grateful for. This morning at the end of Kundalini yoga I felt the benefit of spending a little bit of time gently massaging my face and releasing any tension. We don’t realise sometimes how much tension we hold in our face and for me personally it was the jawline that I could really feel holding tight. Using circular motions all over my face helped release any tension that I didn’t even know was there ! 😬 Honestly, after yoga this morning, I swear my eyes look so much brighter or at least they certainly feel that way. and I look less tired! If you’re sat on the fence about yoga I cannot recommend kundalini yoga enough. Paula is an amazing teacher. I started practising with her beginning of 2023 when I was burnt out, with no reserves for anything. I reckon that has been one of the main things I have done that has supporterd my body to recover and become strong again. I love the breath, the movement, the music, the meditation - I love it all. It has been my saviour, for the last three years. I am so grateful Paula came into my life and perfect timing too!

Day 17 - I have felt a little bit frazzled today. We are coming to the end of term, been Christmas shopping and I’ve got to this time of night and realised I haven’t made any time for myself so I have chosen to escape to my bed for 10 minutes and have a cup of tea in bed and reset, which basically means getting change into my comfy and settling in for the evening. I’m done today how are you?

Day 16 and today is meeting yourself where you are at with the energy that you have right now. I’m sure you have a list of things that you want to get done by certain times, but if you are feeling tired, low energy, maybe you just got your period, maybe you’re due on, whatever is going on for, choose the task that feels suited to how you are feeling and leave the more demanding tasks for tomorrow. It’s amazing how if you give yourself just 10% of what you need it can give you a little boost and can help you get the stuff done that feels more demanding done from a place of ease rather than pushing on through. Gentle is key 💚 Remember it all gets done, do it with ease on you, that’s how I’m rolling today! 🥰
