Have you ever caught yourself thinking that you just don’t have time for yourself?
You can make EVERYTHING a priority, but yourself?
Left to my own devices I do that to myself as well.
That’s why today I wanted to talk about our self-care system. A simple routine we can start establishing today to prevent burnout tomorrow.
What are those small steps we can start taking to take care of ourselves better?
Here is a guest video from my friend and Systematic Success graduate Sheila Shuster answers that question and more…

I love the idea of Silent Sundays. It sounds so relaxing!
I can’t wait till the end of the week to do it. Instead, I take an hour every morning to exercise. Something. Anything. It could be dance, could be going to the gym and running. Either way, I unplug and go. Then, I take mini breaks throughout the day to stretch, dance, and walk away.
To me, moving meditation is the way to go. When I move, whether for getting up for a cup of tea, my hourly stretch, or my hour of running, is a time of quiet. I literally focus on the way my feet roll while I walk, the way my shoulders are when “relaxed”, and even how I breathe. It’s a time to listen to my body and readjust things as necessary.
I couldn’t agree more, Grace!!! Moving is so important!!! 🙂
