This week, as part of my self-care, I was grateful to get a massage from a talented therapist. Oooooh. How wonderful it is to be relaxed and have tight muscles give way to the effects of powerful, and delicious smelling essential oils.

Self-care also included a hair cut, meditations, a hot bath in Epsom salts, warm honey, lemon and ginger tea, a few bike rides, some fun walks/hikes in the beautiful weather, getting to bed on time most nights, playing tag on the trampoline with my grandchildren–laughing so hard we had to stop to let our stomach muscles calm down!

I’ve read inspiring texts most mornings, prayed for strength and worked on my time-blocking to keep my household in order.

I made an herbal combination for a physical ailment, cooked some good food, sat over a bowl of steaming herbs and essential oils with my head under a towel {if you haven’t tried steam inhalation therapy, you’re missing out!}. I’ve been practicing new, powerful declarations, looked a fear in the face, played the piano for fun and tonight I’ll be going on a date with my husband.

As I’ve been making this list, I’m a little surprised at all the self-care that has become part of the fabric of every day life. Not only that, but the realization comes that even my work is self-care in a real sense because it helps me to maintain a level of cleanliness and enough predictability to keep things moving.

Are there things I wish I had done a bit differently this week? Yes. Have I had to apologize for misunderstandings or saying something out of line? Yes. Are there things undone that I wish were already finished? Yes. But all in all, it has been a great week and I have learned a lot!

I am glad for the opportunity to be here, learning from my mistakes, enjoying the beauty of the earth, cultivating stronger ties with friends and family and reveling in this amazing ride!

I hope you are taking very good care of yourself.

Be well!

Jacque
