Reason number 11 why I decided to make self-care a priority this year…

Self-care isn’t always easy

This year I created an intention to focus on self-care and to see how realistic (or unrealistic) it would be to make this an ever day practice.I started this mission with the understanding that some days would be easier than others. If I’m being honest, self-care isn’t always easy and here is why… This week I realized that the days that were harder for me to practice self-care were the days I was focusing on things I could not control. Sometimes the barrier to practicing self-care is rooted in our mindset. I had to learn how to shift my focus back to what I could control. I could not control the time change, but I could control what time I could go to sleep. Self-care isn’t always easy, but it’s not impossible. Refocus your mind. Remember your personal commitment. Take care of yourself.
