My little self-care treat this month

Yesterday as a treat to myself I arranged a therapy exchange with Wendy Penson of Balancing Touch Complementary Therapies based in Bassaleg.  I have previously enjoyed Reflexology with her so decided to have a facial as I have not had one for quite a few years!  I have to share it was absolutely lovely, an hour of bliss which I really enjoyed – many thanks Wendy.  I look forward to sharing Reiki with Crystals with her soon in return.

July is known as being self-care month. Staying well includes taking care of your whole being – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Sometimes we should put ourselves first as we have so much more to offer to others when our cup is full as the saying goes!

I have to share that I did initially feel a little guilty for leaving my partner David who was busy with DIY at our home but it did not last long as I let that thought float away but I did decide to book him a much needed Sports Massage next week when the DIY is complete as his treat!

Self care does not have to cost it can simply be:

• Taking some time out of your busy day to quieten your mind
• Keeping to a regular sleep routine
• Listening to  hypnosis or meditation audio’s
• Practicing gratitude
• Enjoying a lovely walk
• Having a massage
• Listening to relaxing/uplifting music
• Reading a good book
• Setting healthy boundaries by learning to say no and not feeling guilty about prioritising yourself
• Enjoying a lovely soak in a bath
• Having a cuppa with a friend, family or colleague
• Anything that makes you feel good!

Sometimes reviewing how you spend your time can be very insightful and you might wish to reduce time spent on social media to give you more time on other things that are more rewarding to you.  Decluttering in your home can be so beneficial too. Remember clutter has energy too so by getting your space clearer and cleaner it will help you to feel so much better energetically too.

So what are you going to do to take care of yourself and fill your cup this week?

If you would like to arrange  a complementary call to find out more on how I could help you just get in touch as I would be delighted to chat further!

Meanwhile enjoy whatever self-care you decide upon.

Warmest wishes
