Over the next days, I'll present a series of self care tips as a prelude to our first Meetup meeting on 11/16. These brief tips will relate to what I've learned this year about self care.
OK, in just 2 more days, we'll be meeting, here's today's tip.
Tip 3: Know and challenge your excuses.
If you've worked on improving this area of self care before, what caused you to shortchange yourself? What excuses or reasons did you give for downgrading this part of self care? The aim here is not to guilt trip yourself but to be aware of what thoughts or behaviors have kept you from taking proper care of yourself. For instance, I'd often have a self-imposed sense of urgency to get things done that would result in needlessly staying up late. How about for you? What reasons do you give for devaluing your self care?
If you're looking for a supportive community to connect with your self care goals, visit the Meetup group for this blog.
