Self Care

Self Care

Self-care has three parts – Physical, Mental and Spiritual

Physical – Most of the time, we usually think of it in terms of physical.  If we have a mani-pedi, if we get our hairs cut or buy new clothes.

There is so much more.

Mentally – I’ve just decided to evaluate how I spend time with friends.  I’m doing an audit. Who is giving me energy, a poke to think differently and encouragement to follow up on a few ideas.

Spiritually – another audit. Am I taking the time to be quiet?  Yesterday I was at the mechanics it’s a very small shop. I was also there early the first one in the door.  As I was waiting for a friend to pick me up, the owner said Oh I need to light the candle.  I was surprised. In a little glass jar stood a red candle almost to the end.   I asked “do you meditate”.  “No” was the answer, but I do take care of myself with a bit of a nod to the candle.

Take the time for you.  You’re all you have.
