Extreme Self Care

A very important factor in quality of life,especially at this time of year, is the care you administer to yourselves.Be it a Sunday walk in the park,a massage,listening to the rain:)reading by the fire,lighting a beautifully scented candle,wearing cozy new pajamas!taking time in the mall to sit with a cup of coffeeor better yet, hot chocolate!listening to your favorite music while you wrap the giftsor dress the treebuying yourself one small thing at each stop(it can be as insignificant as a candy cane)This extreme self care MUST start with you!you cannot carry any kind of light into the world if your own is flickering from the effects of holiday exhaustionYou can accomplish so much more, if the breaks you give others, are extended to yourselves as wellGive yourself more time to get places, limit the number of tasks you hope to accomplish each daytry to sleep more and bettergive more hugs, more often!be determined to have a conscious holidaywhere you are present in each moment,and are able to wring every ounce of joy from each simple pleasure
