Lesson 231: Check In WEEK 33 - Nourishing Mind and Spirit

The week has been a good lesson on self-care. We are not our optimal selves if we are doing everything for everyone else. If we take a moment to just nourish our minds, body and spirit, then it allows us to be whole towards others. There is no point running on empty and feeling like we’re stretched thin, if we are not taking rest and care to do things that lights our souls.

I thought it funny that this week’s lessons coincided with my leave I took off from work. I just didn’t want to be at work because morale was low and I felt like it was impacting me. I feel better for doing nothing. I spent most of the time just watching TV shows or movies I’d been wanting to watch but never got around to. I hung out with friends and slept a lot. I think that’s all I wanted to not think and do simple things so my body and mind was rested. It was the best thing I did for myself. I feel like once I get final stages of declutter done, then I will be able to be free and feel comfortable in my own living space. Just a few more things to do before the end of year (that’s my goal) and I’ll feel lifted.

So remember self-care is important and to place yourself first sometimes. It’s not selfish if you’re being run down to the ground, feeling exhausted all the time. Hit the refresh button so that you’re at your best and then help others.
