Do you have a specific day of the week that you pour into yourself? Whether its"Self Care Saturday" or "Self Care Sunday" you need to intentionally create habits to take care of your needs.

You can start by asking yourself, "what do I need?" Once you can identify what you may need to recharge begin taking steps to meet that need. Self care doesn't have to be expensive or time consuming. If you find things are getting too overwhelming talking to a licensed therapist can also be a way of pouring back into yourself.

Grind culture can cause you to constantly stay in survival mode, causing chronic stress. This type of stress response significantly affects your cognitive functioning. You become easily distracted or reactive, it also diminishes your analytical and creative abilities. Long term ongoing stress can increase the risk for hypertension, heart attack or stroke. Be mindful of the constant "grind culture" it doesnt allow your body to rest and replenish in the way it needs to. It's okay to take a break, slow down, and breathe... its neccessary!! Stacking unused PTO days and not taking a break is not a badge of honor it's a sign of neglect. It shows you are prioritizing something else instead of yourself. Why? Answering that question is where your real work begins. If you need support in that click the link in my bio for a free consultation. Reminder: self care isnt selfish🥰

Sometimes quitting just seems like the right thing to do. However, if you don't quit your passion is reignited through accomplishing your initial goals and dreams. Perserverance allows you to be bold and fearless and unlock hidden strength and potential. In the process you become an inspiration to others. Rest if you need to but don't quit! "It always seems impossible until it's done." -Nelson Mandela

Journaling is a beneficial self-care practice. It can improve communication skills, increase self-confidence, reduce anxiety, track goals/intentions, and strengthen memory. If you have struggled to get started with journaling or unsure what to journal, try these prompts over the next 7 days. At the end of the 7 days to make journaling a sustainable habit try "anchoring" your journaling. Anchor your journaling to an already established habit such as your morning or night routine to ensure you make it a habit.
