Breathe. The best thing about taking a breather once in a while throughout your busy day is that at any time of the day, while doing any activity, we can take deep breaths to reconnect. Whether you're driving in the car, shuffling through papers, or on the computer getting tasks done, take a moment to take 3 deep breaths to relax and reconnect.

Put on Some Music and Cook a Meal. We all have to eat, and with a busy lifestyle, home - cooked, healthy meals are the perfect option to nourish the body. Allot time in your schedule for cooking. Fix one of your favorite meals and zone out. Put on some music and simply enjoy yourself.

Let Someone Else Do The Driving. With so many options today to catch a ride and look cool doing it, such as Uber and Lyft, you can always let someone else do the driving for you while you catch up on emails, finish a written task, or simply just relax and enjoy the ride.

Holistic Self Care Through Simplicity: 6 Ways (and whys)

9/16/2020

We've heard much too often that "less is more", but how many of us acknowledge the truth in this phrase which has been taken too lightly? In a society that is always aiming to grasp our attention by offering more, where can we break through the complications and indulge in the power of simplicity? Simplicity is an art that begins within self. As I've discovered so far, less truly is more, and there is a powerful force that heals our frustrations once we surrender to the power of simplicity. What does that entail? Read on for six tips (and reasons) to simplify your life on your holistic self care journey.

Purge Your Surroundings.

Believe it or not, our external atmosphere has plenty to do with our inner. "As within, so without" tells us that anything that happens in our outer reality first began internally. As weird as it may sound, when I need clarity or am frustrated "for no reason", I begin to clean and declutter my surroundings for help. It works!

Get Rid of the Long To-Do List...Seriously.

Who doesn't want to be productive? The truth is, we all do. We often look at productivity the wrong way. Rather than viewing productivity through the quality we've contributed to our time, we can, if we are not careful, mistakenly view it as how much time we've contributed. Productivity is not about staying busy, it is about strategically applying quality. Less is more. Unfortunately, we feel that the more complex we make things, the more value it has. Not true. Go through your to-do list and simplify tasks. What can be combined? What is unrealistic? Why are you doing certain tasks? What can help you avoid stress burnout?

Stop Spreading yourself So Thin.

The truth is, a lot of us care about someone or something. Another truth is, our care for so many things can bring a lot of stress into our lives. Many of us seek to be involved in a lot in life, simply because we are available, able, and want to remain loyal to whatever we are associated with. However, we must begin to acknowledge our boundaries and self care. I know all too well about being superwoman and spreading my self too thin. Being involved in and available to too much is a recipe for stress and frustration. Take the load off of yourself sometimes and relax.

You're Beautiful.
​
​Let's face it! Between both genders, women are the ones who probably spend the most time prepping and stressing over their personal appearance. It's a given. So much is expected of a woman to be the walking epitome of perfection, and that's fine, we've accepted it. However, the only thing that causes the insecurities that a lot women often face is their attempt to fit some one else's vision of perfection and beauty. The first step in eliminating those insecurities would be to first recognize your own beauty, embrace it, and tend to it as it requires. A woman can begin by simply looking into the mirror daily and saying to herself "you're beautiful". Compliment yourself, find at least one thing that you love about yourself in the mirror daily, find ways to enhance and preserve your beauty, and you'll begin to develop that beauty and confidence you desire.
​
​​I Love You.
​
​We often hear so many stories of women longing for love and looking for love in all of the wrong places. Sure, it's not just a woman thing; men do it too, however, our affection as women is one that differs significantly from males, whether we'd like to admit it or not. In order to avoid the emotional drama that far too many women find themselves in, it is imperative that we first begin to love ourselves. Tell yourself daily, "I Love You". Try "dating yourself" for a while, get to know yourself a little deeper, learn your own love language, find out what you truly and authentically love about yourself.
