Self-Care with Purpose and Intention for My Well-Being

 

The term self-care is used all over the internet but I struggle with the how and when of it all.   It just dawned on me this year how much I neglected really taking care of myself.    Last year, I started taking my health seriously by choosing to commit to a fitness regimen and eating better.    It is week 37 and I am extremely pleased with the results and the need to schedule my fitness sessions each week and plan my meals accordingly.   It was never about losing weight but building a more fit and leaner body.   The true key to results is consistency in working out and committing to eating the right foods that help with meeting goals.   I am more conscious of why I need to eat certain foods and why I refrain from certain foods.

Another focus for me is to carve out time to treat myself to something simple.   When I have a few hours or a least an hour to spare I started scheduling a nail polish change, manicure or pedicure as a treat.   For the first time in my 48 years,  I scheduled a facial.  What in the world is wrong with this picture?   It was the best experience to have a treatment that keeps me on top of my skincare.   It was the best fifty minutes spent in a long time for me to relax and enjoy the pampering.     I found the best aesthetician in the area who is the absolute best for skincare treatments.   The best part for me is hours on Saturday and Sunday.   I have committed to scheduling one service per month.   For me to commit to anything monthly is a first.   Next, on my agenda is to schedule a massage quarterly.  I think my last message was four years ago and I only scheduled a 1/2 hour.   Again, what was I thinking?   I have a favorite place for my massages and plan to return shortly.

Also taking time away to decompress is a MUST! I am now looking at this as an investment in myself.
