i want to remember all that i learned while at a retreat {one move retreat} hosted by the amazing liz lamoreux. one of the biggest reminders of self*care for myself is to be STILL. learn to be quiet and listen to what my mind, body and soul needs. then ask if i need anything. if i don't take care of myself, i can't be there for anyone else. as i type this and listen to my fingers tapping on the keyboard while it's quiet around me, i feel centered, grounded and free from the chaos. i can hear my beating heart, focus on my breath and smile as peace enters in. i can close my eyes and feel the breeze on my face, the smell of the ocean, the sound of the waves and know that i am oK.
water calms my souL in a way that i can not explain. my heart yearns for this calm all the time. if i can't be near the water, i must remember it. i must as i need to remind myself often that connie needs to take care of herself too, as i spends countless time, energy and hours taking care of others. that i need to do all things possible to make sure i am healthy, happy and centered. i know it's not easy to take care of myself as that is not something i've ever been good at. i am worth it and know the importance of it, so that is what i am doing today...seLf*caRe.
may your day be filled with all the things that bring you peace.
love and hugs
connie
