“Self-care is never a selfish act it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others. Anytime we can listen to true self and give the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves but for the many others whose lives we touch.” - Parker Palmer Episode Notes: Meditation- If you are new meditation and mindfulness, Insight Timer is a great place to start. Don’t be surprised if you stumble upon my mediation exercises. :) (It’s free!) Eucalyptus- naturally soothing and relaxing. You can incorporate eucalyptus in your cleansing process as a quick pick-me-up. Here are my favs: No Tox Life Eucalyptus Shower Steam Lavender & Eucalyptus Bundle Journaling- Journaling is a great way to get your thoughts and feelings out if you’re not interested in talking to someone. Try journaling after your meditation. Teatime- Tea is good for the soul. Herbal teas are great ways to de-stress and heal from the inside out. Exercise- Take care of your body, it’s the only one you have. You can’t say you love yourself if you aren’t moving your body to promote heart health.
