Journaling for Self-Care!  

Hooray…we made it to day 12…

my favorite self-care day! 

Did you know that keeping a journal can also help with self-care?

Between balancing our jobs, social lives, families, kids & pets, it can be easy to forget to take care of ourselves. That’s why making journaling a daily practice is one of the best ways to put yourself first. Today take time to reflect on your days of self-care, how you felt before, 

during and after! 

Benefits of journaling:

Dedicated time for mindful focus and reflection; Reduce stress and anxiety; Organize your thoughts; Provide motivation to continue to dedicate time for self-care.

Focus on Sleep Hygiene!

We are counting down the days and as we get closer to Christmas, we tend to stretch the hours of our days and steal from our sleep. We need good quality sleep now more than ever! I know you are thinking…how will I fit it all in; I am too stressed to sleep; all my favorite shows are on late at night; it’s finally quiet and I can chill!!!! Ok, I get it and I am right there with you! BUT for one night can we all try to set a bedtime and wake up time for consistency? Our minds and our bodies LOVE ROUTINE! And holidays get us off of routines…tonight let’s take back this self-care and get a good night’s sleep. 

Set your reminder for bedtime and wake up time! Benefits are too many to list….and that’s a good thing! Goodnight, sleep tight!

Organize and clean your space

Why wait for the new year to get organized? Let’s begin today. Clean something in your home that’s been on your to-do list and weighing heaving on your mind. Remember to keep it small and doable! As a start decide what it is that you want to organize, then make a detailed list of actions to take in the upcoming days!

How does this tie into 

your self-care for the day? 

Check out the benefits below!

Organizing creates a sense of confidence and self-efficacy (seeing yourself as competent)! It’s energizing! Cleaning and organizing helps reduce anxiety. Cleaning your space allows mind wandering and may involve physical activity ; )

Cultivate self-compassion

Ever notice how compassion for others comes naturally, and yet when we need to grant ourselves a little kindness and attention it just feels… egocentric?

It’s time to shift that way of thinking. Because as the research shows self-compassion is our key to resilience: It helps us learn from our mistakes and move forward with inner strength and enthusiasm. 

Now, how to put self-compassion 

into practice today?

Set aside 10 minutes to mentally highlight your successes, both small and large. As a suggestion…try this in the evening as you start to settle down from the day! This way you can highlight all the positive accomplishments from the day and check off that to-do list for a better night’s sleep!

Get Your Body Moving!

Get out and go for a walk! If you are at work consider a “walking meeting”. Take your next call on a walk outside. If you are at home call a friend and schedule a walk/talk together! You will be amazed how good you feel getting outside in the fresh air and moving your body is a great form of Self-Care!  As we build this into a daily habit we can improve resilience to stress, can aid in regulating sleep, strengthen muscles and bones, control weight, increase longevity.

How will you incorporate this today? 

I would love to hear your comments below. As a way of accountability check in after your walk….I’ll be looking for your comment!

How much time should we meditate?

 I am asked this so many times 

and here is my response: 

If you are just starting out, I recommend you meditate for anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes every day. You can start with even less. Maybe try it for 1 minute in the morning. And when you can sit still and relax for that long, move to 2 minutes. Just like any other activity or habit, start with small doable amounts and before you know it you will experience mindfulness.

Benefits of this habit include 

(but not limited to): 

· Reduces stress/controls anxiety

· Promotes emotional health

· Enhances self-awareness 

· Lengthens attention span

There are many apps that offer free trials for guided meditations. Reach out to me if I can answer any questions or if you would like to know more about meditation and mindfulness.

Shut Down the Digital Disruptions 

iPhones, mailbox notifications, Twitter, Facebook, and everything that pops, slides, or fades in and out of your screen has got to go. Shut them down and UNPLUG! Waste time!

It’s as easy as turning off the notifications or scheduling only a specific time to check all these notifications and texts.

Benefits of “wasting time”: 

Allows Your Brain to Rest

One very good reason wasting timecan make you more productive is that it lets your brain rest. When you're constantly working you never get a chance to switch off. Wasting timedoing something that requires very little complex thinking can make you more productive.

 Holiday season can be hectic and can cause us to 

“Eat on the Run”!  

  Today take TIME for your self-care by slowing down and using your five senses to savor your food! I will give you guidelines but ultimately discovering what works for you is the best way to maintain this habit. 

Start by putting half as much food as you would normally eat on your plate, and plan to take two times longer than usual to eat it. Now for the fun part….get all your senses involved. Admire the colors and presentation of the food on your plate. Smell the various scents and try to identify all the ingredients and seasonings. Listen to some soothing soft holiday tunes. Feel the various textures in your mouth. And finally, chew slowly and savor all the flavors of every bite.

Now sit for a moment and ask yourself: How do I feel? Do I want more? Am I satisfied? Taking this time allows your system to digest food optimally, so you feel content and satisfied post-meal instead of overstuffed and regretful.

Laugh a little (or a lot) 

  Let’s kick this challenge off with a good belly laugh! 

There is nothing better and more contagious than laughter. 

A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving 

your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after. Laughter boosts 

the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones 

and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, 

thus improving your resistance to disease. 

Creating opportunities to laugh:

Watch a funny movie, TV show, or YouTube video, share a good joke or funny story, play with a pet, goof around with 

your kids!

Discover what makes you laugh 

and practice this self-care more often!
