What is your self-care
routine? I have increased my significantly since I’ve entered my forties. I have
embraced flossing daily, double brushing, daily vitamins, lots of water, more
helpings of fruit and vegies, less red meat, and more prayer and mediation. I
have noticed, although I try to stay active daily, my exercise routine comes
and goes. For example, I didn’t go to the gym this weekend but I did work hard
in the yard cutting down dead flowers and getting it ready for winter. I’ll be
very sore tomorrow and, this is my way of knowing, my activity is working me
out just fine, at least for now!
I exfoliate and give myself
facials at least once a month. I get massages when I can afford it and I read a
lot. I’m in a Master’s program so I have absorbed many textbooks over the past
2 years. I continue to challenge myself through new endeavors and I am creative
often. I love writing, drawing, cooking, problem-solving and serving others in
creative ways.
I have tried many types of
holistic healing processes and I will continue to engage in this world. It is
sincerely intriguing to me.
I have a lot of short-term
and long-term goals such as, finishing my masters in counseling and then
serving others in this role. I want to finish writing my second book as it has
been taking me far too long. I will marry my fiancé in the near future,
and continue to travel when we can. I hope to get accepted into a doctorate
program and obtain a doctorate in Art Therapy. Eventually, I want to open a
clinic in southeastern Michigan.
As a woman, I serve many
roles and while I do live in the present, I am keeping my eye on the horizon.
And, with all of this on my plate, it is important that self-care is a priority
in my routine.
What are you doing to better
you as you grow older? What is your self-care routine?
