Start or end each day with "I am thankful for......"

Here are some additional ideas to find your inner soulstice.

• Self Care is a buzz word but it’s really important to your physical, mental, and emotional health
•  Self-care is any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health.
• Self-care increases our overall health physically, mentally, and emotionally. 
• Women tend to believe that we always have to be productive

• Consequences of poor self-care
• Loss of concentration and focus
• Overwhelming exhaustion
• Mood fluctuations
• Feeling depressed and/or anxious
• Tense muscles due to stress
• Strained relationships
• Excessive worrying
• Feeling guilty
• Get sick more often

• Benefits of self-care
• Keeps your immune system from getting run down 
• Improves energy so that you can be more active and exercise
• Your ability to focus improves increasing your productivity
• Reduces your risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer
• Gets you out of survival mode and allows you to experience more joy

• Ideas for summer self-care when everyone is home
• Get up early and go for a walk
• Walks amongst mother nature are some of the best exercise you can get
• Don’t overschedule your days- intentionally leave “white space” in your calendar to allow time to decompress and catch up
• Give yourself time to breathe
• Drink water - get yourself a fun drinking vessel to make it enjoyable!
• Get enough sleep - it'll all be there waiting for you tomorrow!
• Get some Vitamin D
• Tidy up your home - straightening up physical aspects can bring clarity
• Digital detox
• Skip your makeup routine
• Meditate
• Journal
• Get enough sleep
• Get help from your kids
• Kids thrive on routine and work benefits them as well. Give them a daily/weekly chore list to take something off your plate and give them the opportunity to experience the satisfaction that comes from accomplishing a task.
• Go get a pedicure or a massage.  Tons of health benefits with massage....they don't just feel good ;) 
• Take a bath and diffuse your favorite essential oils or homemade bath bombs.
• Enjoy an energy-boosting tea or fruit drink

Hopefully these will bring you some relaxation and rejuvenation the next time you are traveling!

But remember if you are needing it, implement them while at home too.  If having a checklist is more your thing, I created the below Bingo card during a past Challenge.  Feel free to save it down to track for yourself.

Share a photo of your self care moments on social media using #CocktailDiet or tag me!  We can always cheer each other along.

Need accountability?  I created this BINGO card earlier this year for a fun challenge.  If you have friends who would benefit from a Self Care Challenge connect with me & we can chat!
