Hello again,
Like many of us, I have long been someone who enjoys helping and caring for others.
I grew up with the Spirit of Service as a central message in my faith and in my family.
Extending that same Spirit of Service to my Self is where the learning is now happening for me.
Self Care can include:
Getting up and eating nourishing foods.
Moving my body for fun and exercise.
Taking the time to write, journal, and check in with my Self.
Going to sleep at an hour that allows me to get good rest.
Calling an inspiring friend to meet for coffee or a good meal.
Sitting down for 10-20 minutes of meditation.
Doing all the little things that keep me moving in the right direction is essential.
This list can also include watering the lawn and getting my car washed.
When I do these things I stay engaged.
As someone who lives for the feeling of being tapped into genius this is important.
This is where the rubber hits the road, and the road is where the fun happens.
It is the coincidental meetings throughout the day.
It is the great ideas that bubble up during a workout or while I am at a dance class.
It is the opportunities to lend a hand to a stranger.
These are the experiences that lift me up and breathe new Life into my enthusiasm and wonder.
They also stabilize my emotions and thoughts so that I can get grounded and function effectively in the world.
So take care of You and the rest will follow.
When you are running smoothly on the level of the basics, you are more open to the flow of Genius.
That is a perfect combo.
