Winter Self Care

If you are like me (HUMAN), you might be able to resonate! My last blog was about what I do when I am feeling drained, 

This feeling carried on for a while. I had ran my battery low AGAIN! It doesn't happen as often as it used to do, I am way more aware, but I do get carried away and it still happens. 

I wanted to share this cute graphic from @blessingsmanifesting from instagram, I am on a mission to see how many I can tick off this December! I am on a mission to nurture myself as much as I do others, I am great at self care but because of the nature of my work - I have learnt I need more of it! 

I thought it would be nice to share what I have done last night and this morning to really get my energy higher. 

It was my night off work, so I did a YIN YOGA class, with a hot water bottle, a beautiful candle and essential oils. It was so restful. With YIN Yoga we work on making sure the energy is flowing freely for emotional and physical wellness. 

Then I had a bath with my home made bath bombs.

Then onto my acupressure mat with a facemask for 10 minutes and early to bed with some doTERRA Lavender Essential Oil bubbling away in the diffuser. 

This morning, I went for my first acupuncture session for a while, it was amazing, I used to go weekly, then lockdown happened, so this is something that I will get back into. It feels vital for my health. It tops me up, it also allows my body in the from of it's pulses, to talk to the therapist to let them know how I am doing. I use it as proactive self care. 

I have realised that when we teach yoga, when we coach, when we do energetic work from the heart, we must make sure that we match this with energetic self care, otherwise the battery runs low, we need nurturing too! 

Lesson learnt - until next time anyway, as I am human!
