self care

For a healthy mind, body, and soul.

The Eye of the Beholder
Oh my, oh my! Tonight I sit here contemplating the power of words. I don't know about the rest of you, but I grew up with that little childhood claim that "sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can never hurt me." I am here to proclaim that the claim is WRONG! It is so wrong that it should be classified as an outright lie! Words can often leave bruises that take decades to heal; some so hurtful I think the essence of the initial punch often leaves a single bruise that can be felt to the present day.

Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own decisions.
I am not a fan of making decisions. I sometimes wish life was a rollercoaster that you never get to leave. No stop signs that make you look left or right, no traffic lights to give way , no cross walks that give you pause. Sometime I just want to be head-in, guns-blazing, take-no-man-alive.

The Toll of the Pandemic
WHAT THE PANDEMIC IS DOING TO OUR HEALTH I know that when all of this first started we weren’t too worried about it.

This is a special day for Kathy and me: we got our bed working again! I know most of you have those beds that work just because you’re lying in it, but we don’t.

Balancing Everyday Life
Balancing Home & Work Balancing home and work can be tough, but it's important that you find balance with both of them. At times work can be stressful, we've all dealt with it. Now it's important to remember that work is just temporary at the moment, and you have a life to live outside of it. Do the best you can while you are at work, and try focus on the positives. When you're off work, try to leave work at the office and focus on selfcare. Selfcare can be a number of things like taking a nice warm bath to relax, meditating, socializing, working out, etc. Emotional Selfcare is may also be needed. If you feel like you need a good cry, then cry. If you feel like you just need to scream, then scream. If you feel like you need to break something, then find something in your house that you can afford to replace lol. It's also important to remember to eat properly. If you have a chaotic work schedule, try to make sure you're incorporating balanced meals into your diet. One way of doing this is prepping your meals. For example, I like to have scrambled eggs in the morning with sautéed vegetables, toast, and coffee. So I precut my veggies the night before and also have my coffee already set to brew. This might not sound like a lot but all the little things make a difference. If you're having trouble trying to find balance then invest in a planner. Find time at the end of the week to plan out your next week.

Genuine Kindness is a Self Care Practice.
February 17th is Random Acts of Kindness Day. That's kind of cool. And also sad. We shouldn't really need such a day. Being kind should be part of our daily experience. Not just for the benefit of others, but for our own service too.

The Joy of Tears
Yesterday, I cried. The tears had been waiting impatiently for several days, even weeks, and they finally came out. And this morning, I felt as if I had been washed of my sorrows, as if I had been freed of a weight.

Solo On Valentine's Day?
Let's face it Valentine's Day is a holiday catered to women. If Christmas wasn't enough, it's the ultimate litmus test for spouses and gift-giving. The size of the gift somehow equivalents to how much women are loved. I think it's time to change that narrative. It's also a day for single women to wish they had someone special in their lives. February 14th isn't a day to sulk, to reach out to old exes, to swipe through social media with jealousy and envy. Last year I posted an article dedicated to self-care practices. Consider this self-care 2.0. In honor of black history month, I decided to curate a list of ways to indulge in self-care while supporting black businesses for women by women for Valentine's Day.

Six Soothing Sounds
I have a confession: I have a form of writer’s block. It’s not the traditional writer’s block where you stare at a blank screen struggling to start or even where you write and revise that first sentence over and over. My problem is that I am stuck in a loop of writing about the same thing, so I wanted to challenge myself to write about something different. I lacked a topic, so I tried an old writing prompt technique: get a random article from Wikipedia and write about it.
