June 25, 2009 Self Care!
Weekly Tips to Help You Create the Life You Desire
Greetings!
 
Welcome to the first edition of Self Care!

According to Wikipedia, "Self care is personal health maintenance...Self care includes all health decisions people (as individuals or consumers) make for themselves and their families to get and stay physically and mentally fit."

This weekly quick tip is for people who believe in the importance of self care but often need to be reminded to actually do it. In it you will find a short idea to think about or an action step to take. I will also include helpful websites or resources where you can go into greater depth on tips that resonate with you.

I believe that if we each make self care a priority in our lives, we can't help but create the life we desire!

Tip of the Week
by Article Author
Hot! Hot! Hot!

If the heat is making you a prisoner of your home or workplace, make sure you are spending at least 5-10 minutes outside enjoying the scenery. Set your alarm clock ten minutes early. Before getting ready for your day, go outside. Breathe in the fresh morning air, see the dew sparkle on the leaves, listen to the birds calling to each other, and relax in the knowledge that you are caring for yourself!

Bonus tip:
Later, as you are sitting (and sweating) in your hot car waiting for the the AC to work, remember your morning reverie and experience it again!
