For the past 3 months, I have really dialed in taking time for me. What I have found is that it takes baby steps. Nothing was built overnight. 

Whether its a walk in the woods, reading a few chapters in a book, taking a long hot bath, steaming my face and putting expensive serum on or just sitting in my car along in quiet. It doesn’t have to be expensive or take tons of time (which I don’t have). 

I have also found my mind shifting – instead of thinking of all the things that I have to do that day; be grateful that I get to do just a few of them. Be happy with a long hike and not rush it because I have 3746 things to do.

Calming my mind.

I am feeling better mentally. More of a clear mind. Less fog. Clarity, purpose and motivation.

Doing things that make me feel good and doing those things for me. We spend so much time pleasing people or doing things for others, that it’s time to take a few moments to embrace ourselves.

It doesn’t have to be something big or huge – really the little and simple things make all the difference.
