We are a week away from Thanksgiving. I can not believe this year is almost over already. This blog I want to discuss Self-Care during the holiday seasons. We as mom's get real busy we forget to take time for ourselves.Why is Self-Care important?
It encourages us to be kind to ourselves. If you are able to be kind and love ourselves, we are able to be kind and love others. It improves our relationships. It also helps improve our health by decreasing stress. So how can we give ourselves self-care during this stressful time of year?
- Morning Routine
Every morning do something that gives you care. Journal, go for a walk, listen to music or simply sit quietly with a cup of tea or coffee.
- Eat Healthy
You can still enjoy your favorite Holiday treats. Just remember 85% to 90% of the time to eat something healthy. Only induldge in the treats you truly love. Do not indulge just because it is there.
- Be Intentional
What are ways you can be intentional? Be mindful of what you take in. This is things such as news articles, post, stories you read, watch or listen to. Choose to be kind to others even when kindness is not returned. Do something that brings joy into your life. Do something that makes you proud.
- Nap
Honestly this is my favorite one. If your body is tired let it rest. Be kind to it.
- Laugh
Spend time with someone who makes you laugh. Laughter is after all the best medicine.
- Take a Bubble Bath
Turn on some relaxing music, light some candles and relax.
Most of all, remember to be kind to yourself. Don't let the stresses of the Holidays drag you down. Deep breaths and remember you can only control your own actions and reactions.
Until Next Time!
Also Remember,
You are kind,
You are smart,
You are important.
