It’s almost March and I already feel swept away by the pace and intensity of 2020! Pause! Wait! Stop! Be Still, Quiet, Breathe…inhaling slowly, deeply, hold; exhaling fully with a sigh. And again, consciously inhaling and exhaling, until you feel ease, flow and joy again!

OK now:

• When is the last time you were near the ocean or at the beach, with your toes in the sand?
• Have you walked through a nearby forest or park, sat under a tree or put your arms around its trunk?
• Can you remember standing barefoot on Mother Earth, feeling her support and strength?

If you’re feeling stressed, out of sorts, pulled in too many different directions simultaneously, you’re overdue for time off and time out for time in…

You may procrastinate about handling certain tasks and responsibilities. However, you may not put off taking care of yourself a moment longer! Why?

You are important! There’s only one unique you!
Your skills and talents are useful!
Your gifts are to be shared!

Who you are and what you do matters!

Therefore, you must be alive, healthy, relaxed and ready!

“Self-Care is not selfish. Self-Care is the foundation of empowered service to others.” ~ Harriet Tubman Wright

You know the formula! Allow me to remind you, if you’ve momentarily forgotten!

Five Principles to Release Stress and Create Serenity

• Implement daily BodyMindSpirit practices such as regular exercise, sound nutrition and proper rest;
• Cultivate positive beliefs, thoughts, attitudes, words and behaviors that create healthy, empowering results in your life;
• Maintain healthy boundaries by learning when and how to say “No”, “No, thank you,” or “No, not at this time,” without guilt, shame or apology;
• Know what you’re responsible for, what’s yours to do and stay in your lane. Avoid trying to do or control what is NOT your responsibility, job or task;
