What is self-care success?

I’m smiling…

Over the past few years, I’ve made some observations. I’m learning. I’m listening. I want to help.

And my mission is to help people switch from ‘health care’ as we know it, to ‘self-care’. Self-care is individualized, respects your unique environment and circumstances, and can’t be dosed out in a ‘prescription’. More and more in our modern environment, ourselves are taken out of the equation.

And what do we have if we don’t have ourselves? Deep thoughts, I know.

Self-care success is not only recognizing the sorts of feel good – grow good things that you require in your life, but making those things happen… and making them happen as a part of your life so that they are just what you do.

The results might amaze you.

Let’s consider a few things…

Food. Food is a major issue for a lot of people. Some are stressed by what are ‘good’ and ‘bad’ foods, some are bored in routine, some can’t seem to plan or are paralyzed with the choices, some people flat out don’t cook, don’t enjoy it, can’t stand it.

Here’s what it used to sound like in my house, every day, at approximately 5:30 pm:

 

Me: Didn’t you take anything out of the freezer for dinner?

He: No, didn’t you?

Me: Crap, what are we going to eat for dinner? (standing in the fridge with the doors open)

He: I don’t know.

Me: Me neither. Ugh.

 

Or how about the weekly shopping trip. We’re out of food, so we go to the store and buy the food we like to eat. No plan. And then it sits in the fridge and wilts/molds/rots. I swear I threw out enough food to feed another family member.

Another issue? Time. When do we have time to exercise? When do we have time to prioritize ourselves? Well, time isn’t going to change – so our relationship with time has to.

Are you ready for this? I’ve created a day-long workshop… one-day. This is not a forever-long program, it’s a day. And even better – this day will set you up for your self-care success.

How exactly? Well on this day you will:

  • Self assess to recognize your routine, your stressors, and obstacles to your success.
  • Set personal (meaningful) goal setting exercise.
  • Share, there’s lots of sharing, we’re sharing.
  • Find a movement-rich environment and tips about how to create your own.
  • (Have an awesome lunch.)
  • Receive ideas for how to maintain control week to week.
  • Create a 3-month calendar, complete with seasonal dinner plans, movement goals, and other self-care priorities.
  • Find a community of like-minded people to connect with for support & accountability.

And from this day thereafter? You can continue to connect, report, and share ideas in a private Facebook group or via email.

There’s no failure here… you’ve got a life to live, I want to help you live it a bit happier & in a your-life-promoting-way.

December 12th at the Holy Wisdom Monastery. Limit of 20 fine people so we can really spread out.
