Self Care is an Essential Life Skill

 Circle those that you do not do. How many of them do you expect others to do? Do they do them? Are they something you could do for yourself? Be honest. How might you do that for yourself. Develop a strategy for them one at a time. Then get started doing them.

When you celebrate your capacity for self care, you send out the invitation for opportunity. The Multiverse follows with situations, people, and choice. For the physical, make sure that you provide your food and water and sustenance needs. Enjoy sharing with others but limit expectations of wanting others to do so for you. Take responsibility to fill your own internal energy reservoir. You will thrive in the vibration of tending your own inner garden. When you are full and the energy is maintained then you are in the perfect place to share that with others, without expectation. Give love, give time, give support from your place of fullness, knowing that what you give is limitless,that what you share is simply passing on the light to another, a part of the great flow. Nurture yourself into happiness. Wanting others to do so is an invitation to the blues. We have choice. We have action. Each of these affects the forms of life in the next breath. Adjust to create the forms you desire. Then celebrate their manifestation.

Care for your emotions by allowing them. Learn to recognize their symptoms and characteristics of being present. Trust that they are a temporary flow. Allow that flow and be the witness of the release. Celebrate the release. Be emotional and be alive. Your doing so sends a call to others to do so. In the flow you reclaim balance.

Weed through your thoughts and beliefs. Notice which no longer serve you. Go about changing them: by repetition of a new thought, visualizing the new way of being, by affirmation, by witnessing the action in others, by teaching about the new thoughts, by writing about what you desire and deserve. Notice the unhealthy thoughts when they arise and replace them with the opposite.

Loneliness is a huge challenge in human life because there is such dysfunction in relationship. Maintain spiritual health by being aware and open to internal and external guidance. See the spirit in all of life. Develop relationship with all dimensions and creatures. Listen and communicate with the animals, the plants, the minerals, the earth, the cosmos. You are not alone. Create loving relationship with your Higher Self and Inner Child. Prove to yourself you are not alone. See Love everywhere. Affirm and claim the richness of the I AM in all. These are just a few suggestions about taking care of yourself. Just do it. Your world will never be the same…
