Self-Care is More Important than Ever
It's been a month. As most if not all of you can attest. I've grappled with what to write, I think, because I'm grappling with my own thoughts and feelings surrounding our current reality. I'm talking about the election, if that was not clear. I, for the most part, do not watch or listen to the news because for me, it takes me to a dark place and since the election, I have stayed away. I think because I've needed to have my own thoughts and process it on my own without the influence of others.
So I am not here to influence your thoughts or feelings. I am here to support you in whatever you are going through. And I know whether you are directly impacted or fear that you will be directly impacted or are worried for family members, friends, various populations who will be impacted by a new administration, you are feeling it. And I know that keeping any of that inside can be detrimental to your health and just generally feel yucky.
It is important now and moving forward to take special care of yourself.
Taking care of yourself will look different for everyone so my message is really just encouraging you to find the ways that you can to take care of your physical, mental and emotional self. For me, that is finding time each day to reflect, open my mind to new thoughts and ideas; it is taking time to get outside in nature and feel the calm of the trees, grass and earth as they nourish us.
Thankful
This time of year, also encourages me to reflect on all that I'm thankful for. I am so thankful for you all. I feel lucky to have such an amazing community and am looking forward to growing and finding new ways that we can all support each other.
