Self Care Day 28: Listen to yourself.

 Self Care Day 28: Listen to yourself.

#SelfCare

This is an important one, friends. Stop and listen to yourself on occasion. Self talk is so important. Staying hydrated and getting enough sleep can not be emphasized enough. Boundaries, Boundaries, BOUNDARIES...I am slow to learn this one, but OH the difference it makes.

I didn't have a massage today, but I did schedule one for next week and I feel like that is a step in the right direction. And everyone knows that I LOVE to go out to eat. So, progress...

I'm working on this with renewed passion this year. Especially with all the activity at Acton, I need to feed myself well. And it is serving me well.

Self Care Day 20: Get Crafty

#SelfCare

I have determined through many trials and errors that I'm actually not good at being crafty. Bummer. However, I AM good at collecting craft supplies for others to enjoy. These days, I commission friends that have crafting skills to make things I would make if I had the skills...or the time...or the attention to detail needed for most craft projects to turn out well.

Humorous anecdote for the day: Hercules is currently out shoe shopping. 😄 True story.

Self Care Day 18: Ask for help

 Self Care Day 18: Ask for help

#SelfCare

I used to be completely hopeless at this, but as I've aged and grown smarter (I hope) or simply had to accept my limitations as a working and homeschooling mama whose husband's love language is time together, I am learning to request (or occasionally demand) help from those who live here. It has been a game changer for me, and it can be for you, too. You don't HAVE to do everything, Friends. You can ask for help. You can. <3

This is another task that I am learning to be more diligent about. Those stairs at Acton are less of a challenge than they were when I started, and I'm always happy about progress.

It was a lovely coincidence that this self care suggestion landed on a Sunday. We opted for a romantic comedy for Pizza and Movie Night, which is fine by me since that is my second favorite movie genre, right after musicals.
