Learn about the ‘power of ritual’ and ‘moments of pause’ to achieve this, and our favourite 6 teas to support you in this.
I was thinking this morning what does self care really mean to me.
Yes of course Me time, having a massage, cup of tea with my bestie and definitely my weekly yoga zoom class.
Then I dug a bit deeper and thought, well today my self care is writing this blog in bed still in my dressing gown whilst the kids are eating coco pops with instant cream in the living room because the kitchen is still a mess.
Other days it might be folding and sorting my own clothes first before the rest of the families- so I can have a stress free pick of outfits for the week that really make me feel good.
Does reading this give you an immediate sense of discomfort? And a...I don't know if I could do that.
Surely the kids need to come first. Well if I don't iron my husband's shirt he'll be late for that important meeting. How could I possibly put myself first, I dont have the time.
I guess it doesn't really matter what it is that helps you make that first break through.
We’ve all at some point in our lives come across negative remarks. As adults, we may find it easier to brush them of and come back to our own truth. But anything we’ve heard as children, seems to stick for a long time. I’ve come across crazy stories many times as a music teacher. I call them stories because they’re not real (even if we think they are) and crazy because they’re often quite far out and tell us more about the sender than the receiver.
