It is widely acknowledged that self-care is critical for our well-being. Yet, it can be a challenge to develop meaningful and sustainable practices for self-care, especially in the midst of our busy days.
Just as a tailor might custom fit a garment for you, I can work with you to design a self-care routine just for you to fit within your life.
Self-care can include stepping away for a walk, to go to the gym, or have a chat with a good friend.
Self-care can also include practical self-compassion, mindfulness, and yoga exercises in the midst of life –
no stepping away needed.
This means we can use a range of tools to attend to ourselves anytime: in a difficult conversation, in a meeting, with friends or family, walking the dog, or while preparing for sleep.
Weaving self-care into your day can bring a range of benefits:
- Clarity and self-awareness
- Self-kindness
- Connection with self and others
- Motivation with less fear of failure
- Capacity to act in alignment with your values
- Opportunities to restore and replenish at intervals throughout the day
- Tap into internal resources and strengths more readily
- Lessen stress and overwhelm
