Hello fabulous you!!! Happy Friday. Hope you’re well and feeling great!!!
I believe in the power of listening to my inner self. Over time I’ve come to know that, when nothing is showing up, when I have to pull and push and struggle and stress to find a spark of creativity, it’s time to give my creative self a break. So I’m listening and following my inner guidance and this will be my last posting for 2021. I’m gifting myself some space to rest, nourish, reconnect with my deepest self, read something just for the fun of it and pamper myself.
I originally posted this nourishing piece in December 2013 and I’m reposting it with a new title and picture, read below.
Wishing you a magical Christmas or, whatever other holiday you may be celebrating, may all your wishes come true. Happy New Year, I’ll be back next year.
When you become aware of what you need to nourish yourself every day, your life becomes more magical. Ask yourself…
What do I need to do to nourish myself today? –
Maybe just five minutes of quiet time alone
Just a moment of rest or to reflect
A moment to bring yourself back to center
Maybe what you need is a nourishing meal
Drink water to flush your system out
Bring good thoughts to your mind
Stretch – Yoga – Exercise – Take a walk around your neighborhood
Forgive yourself
Praise yourself
Love yourself a little more today
Maybe you need to connect with your passion
Shine your light
Say no to a party you don’t want to attend
Believe in yourself
Have faith
Say yes to your life
Look inside yourself
Bring your awareness inward
Start a journal writing practice
What do you need to do to nourish yourself today?…

Hope your Christmas was beautiful, Masha! And “nourish” was my word for 2021–well, one of them at least. An early Happy New Year to you!

These are all great ways to nourish yourself. I have to admit – I always put others first and rarely focus on myself. Your posts are always so helpful at helping me realize I need “me” time, too. I’m really going to start focusing more on myself this year so I can stay mentally and physically healthy, too.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Wishing you a safe and healthy and happy 2022!!

I’m glad you recognize the need for “me” time, I believe it’s crucial for my own well-being, even if I only take 15 minutes for “me” it does a world of goodness. Wishing you a healthy, happy, prosperous new year!!! xoxo
