Self Care

I'm feeling deflated and run-down right now.  Time for some SELF CARE.

Self care looks like a lot of things (to me).

I said no to a Cabby party tonight.  I don't want to eat and drink.  I don't want to buy overpriced clothes (even though they say you can just come - not really -- not buying is rude).  I don't want to be out late.  Self care is overriding my "saying yes."

I ditched my WW2 book I'm reading.  It's holding me up.  I don't like it and I want to move on.  Sometimes I "force" myself to finish.  Not this time.  Letting it go -- finally.

I dumped all the party left-overs.  They were haunting me and I don't need that battle in this moment (cheese, wine, chocolate, etc, etc, etc).

Solid workouts of my choosing.  My lift instructor is out sick until Thursday, so I'm on my own.  Doing what I want.  What feels good.

Spending some quality time with my pup.  I'm getting another foster dog Thursday - Monday as a favor to another foster mama.  He needs some loving on his own right now.

Turning off the news after the morning's update.

I'll try to add a few fun things in the mix this week too.  TBD.  Maybe a massage?

Lastly, self care means REMEMBERING to be HAPPY.  It's hard given all the sadness in the country right now.  That's my INTENTION today ... look for slivers of HAPPY.  Later gators.
