What Happens When You Actually Make Self-Care A Priority
Article Category: Advice
Author Name: Linda Clay
"If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete"- Jack Kornfield
I've a confession to make. I've written blogs, posts and comments about how important SELF-CARE is to a person, how it should be YOUR priority, that you need to take care of yourself first and foremost .. and (here's my confession) I forgot.
Yep, I did. I got CAUGHT up in a great course I've been taking, learning all kinds of new things and really STRETCHING myself so the old habit of being a WORKAHOLIC snuck back in, kinda like a thief in the night and I started working from morning till bedtime... so very SILLY of me and I bet you can guess what happened? I got sick, down for the count all weekend and I'm still not feeling great.
There's no time like the present, the RIGHT now, to remind you about how important it is to practice the ART OF SELF-CARE. Yes, it is an ART! It's the creative activity of taking care of you!
When is the LAST TIME you allowed yourself to take care of you? Just YOURSELF with your journal, or the book you want to read (not the next best self-help book but a juicy novel that's laid on your night stand for months), just YOU?
How often do you get caught up in everything that is going on around you, the chores, your website, the kids, dinners, cleaning house, doing laundry and find it 'JUST SLIPPED YOUR MIND' to eat right, get rest and relax?
Putting the emphasis on the CARE OF YOU is an integral part of self-love and taking care of others. When you practice the ART OF SELF-CARE, it helps you helps you move past any mental blocks that stop you from achieving your financial and personal growth goals.
It's a part of Mindset and as you know, I believe, that #MINDSETMATTERS.
Think about it? How can you take care of or help someone else when you can't even take care of you? What would you say to your best friend, who wasn't taking care of themselves and felt stuck, frustrated or down?
Write that conversation down and then have the conversation with yourself, after all, aren't you your own best friend? You need to give yourself the SAME ADVICE, you would give someone you really cared about. Same words, same message, same love and same comfort.
" Self- compassion is simply giving the same kindness to ourselves that we would give to other people" - Christopher Germet
Here's how you can practice the 'ART OF SELF-CARE.'
Take time out of you day to spend time doing things that will help you feel better.
Take the breaks when you need them. Schedule them in, once an hour, once every two hours, listen to yourself. When you make this a practice, you'll find you'll be able to make decisions in the present moment.
Put time on your calendar to be in nature, go for a walk, meet up with a friend, write in your journal or go to your favorite fitness class, make it a habit and when you do, you'll find so many positive changes.
It sounds so SIMPLE, yet, you and I both know, it's not NECESSARILY easy to do.
Why is it so hard?
Most of us were raised to put the taking care of others in front of our own needs. It takes retraining your mind (yes, mindset again) to learn to respect yourself and honor your 'YOU' time. When you work on retraining your mind and getting to know yourself, what is good for you and what is not, you are nourishing all parts of you.
In the classic book, The Artist's Way, Julia Cameron recommends you set aside some time each week to explore. She calls this the 'ARTIST'S DAY', where you just allow yourself some time to go and let inspiration strike you, let it hit you, play, explore, see and feel. Wow, doesn't that sound enticing and nourishing?
We all, especially women, tend to skip this part and give so much of ourselves to our family, friends, career and community. We completely forget about CARING for ourselves. At risk, of course, is YOU burning out.
You matter! Your 'YOU TIME' matters! In fact, it's the most important part of reaching your personal and business goals. If you burnout, those goals are put on hold, until you heal. It could take one month, six months or a year or more.
" Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two breaths " - Etty Hillesum
It's so easy to get OVERWHELMED and ANXIOUS about everything that's on our plate for the day, the week or month, we forget there is a source greater than us. Hand over your overwhelm and stress to the master and watch your time magically open up with room to take care of you.
IT WORKS!
Spending precious time worrying about how we're going to get everything done doesn't help. Take it from me, a recovering worry wart, it doesn't help, not at all (more on that another time) but what does is letting go and understanding that everything WILL get done. After all, there is always tomorrow.
Give yourself a break! When you take care of yourself, spend time alone, you open up the airways to hearing yourself, your creativity flows, new ideas pop into your mind, you feel calmer and more at peace. Your mind is open to hear the many messages you've been missing.
"Self-care is a divine responsibility" - Danielle LaPorte
Make taking care of yourself your biggest investment and watch your life, business and relationships grow. YOU DESERVE IT!
"Taking good care of you means the people in your life will receive the best of you, rather than what's left of you" - Carl Bryan
