Many of my clients and friends have been noticing a powerful undercurrent in their lives. Something that they can’t quite get a bead on. In conversation we found that in order to identify this underlying feeling, we must come from a nourishing place of  self-care.  You simply must ease your mind, calm your body, and feed your soul to witness what is happening under the surface.

Ease Your Mind

Easing your mind involves being fully present and aware of this very moment. Eliminate the guilt and shame you carry with you from your past and put an end to the unfounded worries about your future. Create more time for gratitude, abundant thinking, a positive attitude and lots of laughter.

Begin your healthy intentions by:

  • Creating a gratitude journal – Start making a daily list of what you are grateful for.
  • Joy Spotting- Notice every little moment that fills you with joy.
  • Reading motivational books and blogs – Check out my blog roll for some great inspirational mojo.
  • Listening to uplifting music, podcasts and audio books.
  • Being aware of your self-talk – Are you gentle and kind to your self?
  • Lightening up – Things do not have to be so frigging serious. Seriously!
  • Lots and Lots of Laughter – Who are you sharing your time with? Do they make you laugh?

Calm Your Body

As important as easing your mind is to your mental health, exercise and relaxation also play a key role in your well being. Our bodies are marvelous creations that carry us through life. You deserve extreme self care. Just like a beautiful flowering plant, your healthy body needs rich soil and water to create a full and healthy bloom.
Caring for a calming your body includes:

  • Regular massage therapy – Bodywork should be a regular part of your health care.
  • Relaxing bubble baths – If you have a tub, get in it!
  • Luxurious naps – You deserve an occasional nap.
  • Moving your body -walking, going to the gym, enrolling is a dance class, run, stretch, and play!
  • Healthy nutrition – Fresh fruit, veges, whole foods.
  • Care for your mental body image – I dare you to look in the mirror and greet yourself each morning with “Hello Gorgeous!” Be kind to your self by banishing negative body talk.

Nourish Your Soul

Discovering true balance includes creating time to feed your spirit. Nurturing yourself spiritually allows you to ground yourself in your body keeping you anchored, healthy and alive. Caring for the soul includes eliminating the weeds that show up and choke out your natural soulful beauty.
Nourish your soul by:

  • Ridding yourself of interruptions and making time to be still.
  • Get in touch with your spirituality through peaceful time in prayer or meditation.
  • Plan time for your creative pursuits – photography, journaling, art projects and music.
  • Get unplugged – Turn off the television. radio, computer, pager and any other electronic device.
  • Focus on your breath – Deep cleansing breaths in through your nose, filling your lungs to capacity and then letting it all go with a sigh and exhalation.
  • Share your time with people who make you smile until your face hurts.
  • Get out of the house and get close to nature – The miracle of water, woods and wildlife will rejuvenate your spirit.

You deserve real moments of solitude, self-reflection, play,  and relaxation.  Self-care leads to a clear and focused state of mind.
