DAILY SELF CARE:

Simplify Routines
Routines can feel monotonous, but they simplify your life while increasing productivity. Morning and bedtime routines are specially important. Make them simple, but reproducible daily, based on your priorities. Establishing routines makes transitions easier and creates less stress on your body, allowing you to accomplish more than when you have hazardly attend to your priorities.

DAILY SELF CARE:

Unfollow Negativity
Unfollow or mute anyone on social media whose presence and opinions feel in conflict with your soul. If they don't bring you joy, or otherwise uplift you, do not give them any attention or valuable real estate in your life.

DAILY SELF CARE:

Choose one
Think of one habit that isn't benefiting you. Do you eat when you're stressed? Are you a smoker? A nail biter? Whatever that bad habit is, let it go this month.
But don't quit the Habit without replacing it with an alternative. Your habitual choices serve the purpose of fulfilling a need, sometimes in a healthy way, sometimes in an unhealthy way. Consider the need itself and how you can replace it with a healthier choice that will fulfill you.

Mays DAILY SELF CARE it's all about simplicity. This month is all about simplicity. When you are committed to simplifying your life, your priorities, desires, and deep needs rise to the surface. When life is cluttered with things and busyness, you become blind to your needs. The complex demands of the day-to-day grind overshadow the more important, simple needs of your life.

Sometimes you may hold on to possessions, relationships, people, and ideas long after their expiration date. It's okay, necessary even, to let things, people, and feelings that you no longer need fall away. When you remove the old to make way for the new, you are simply acknowledging what is and what isn't in your life.

Simplifying gives you the necessary space to breathe in deeply. It feeds your soul and creativity, and it allows you to lead and empowered life.

DAILY SELF CARE:

Gift your mind an opportunity to Rendezvous with possibility as you go about your day by jotting down some of your favorite motivational quotes and hanging them somewhere conspicuous. Every time you see them, it'll feel like a chance encounter with love, motivation, and self care.

DAILY SELF CARE:

You may often compromise your needs, once, and desires by putting things off. Wait until the kids get older. Wait until I lose weight. Wait until I make more money. Wait until I truly fall in love.
You are perfect enough just the way you are, and there is no need to wait. You are given one life, and you are guaranteed only this present moment.
Do something or start a project today that you've been putting off.
YOU GOT THIS!

TODAY'S SELF CARE:

Always consider criticism if it isn't an obvious direct, personal attack. You can learn a great deal about yourself from how people perceive you and your words. But you must care for yourself by guarding what type of criticism you take in. Considering what someone has to say is not the same as absorbing it as your truth. Examine the life of the person who is critiquing you. Do they have value to offer? Be intentional about how you react criticism, too. Don't respond immediately, but only after careful consideration. Use vetted critiques as a tool for improvement.

DAILY SELF CARE:

When you fall, dust yourself off and start all over again. How do you do this? The best way is to prepare for making a mistake before you do. Create a short list of methods and phrases that you can apply in a caring way when you're motivation or self-confidence is low because you messed up. Think of encouraging words or actions that you would offer to a friend in need of a confidence boost and some forgiveness. Give them to yourself, as necessary.

YOUR DAILY SELF CARE:

The concept of "Faking it until you become it" may sound, well, fake on its own, but there is real power in this way of thinking. The concept supports the cognitive behavioral theory of healthy self-motivation and mental health. Just like laughing increases your mood, imitating confidence, and positivity allows you to truly nurture those qualities.

Today, if you aren't feeling motivated, pretend that you are. Tell yourself how energized you feel about presenting that project at work or how pumped you are for your workout today. The more you practice aspirational self-talk, the more it will become truth!

TODAY'S SELF CARE:

Do you soundly swear to stay in your lane, your whole lane, and nothing but your lane?

The biggest motivation killer is comparison. Reflect on how you compare yourself with others. Sometimes when you make choices as a direct result of comparing yourself with someone else, you fail at your goals or intentions because you are trying to occupy a lane of life that isn't your own. Your lane is made just for you, and it's a beautiful just the way it is. Feel good about staying in your lane, it's where all your potential and passion life. When you focus on your own line, you can appreciate your unique growth.
