Practice Self Care

How do you practice self-care?

Self care is very important to me, and it is something I do on a daily basis..

The first thing I do to practice self care is to make sure I take my prescription medication every day, so I keep both physically and mentally well.

The next thing I do is practice mindfulness in my everyday life.   I try to saviour the sweetness of life and live in the moment.  I eat slowly and gently Pat Lily’s soft coat and focus on taste and touch.  Having Lily is also practising self care. She brings me so much love and joy.

I also try to be kind to myself and not judge myself harshly if I make mistakes. I am only human and to err is part of being human.  In the past, I suffered greatly from self-esteem issues and now through experience have developed a more healthy view of myself and my self-worth.  I have learned to be kind to myself.

I largely believe that we reap what we sow in this world 🌎,  so I try to treat everyone as I would like to be treated myself.  This isn’t always easy,  particularly when people aren’t nice to me. I also believe in Karma and know that you don’t generate good karma for yourself by trying to mess in another’s karma.  We are all on different journeys with different lessons to learn,  so wish everyone well on their own journey and don’t interfere with their life.

Self care is always a work in progress but is something we all need to be aware of and worked on gradually each day slowly chipping away like a sculpture  being made by a sculptor.  It gets more beautiful over time and is a blessing to behold.
