A new coworker recently found my blog and made a comment to me about it. Honestly, I had almost forgotten I had one. It’s been so long since I had put some thoughts down here. Too long maybe. I have always found writing as a great outlet and I actually love writing. I feel like I have written some great personal stuff and professional as well. Maybe I need to spend some more time here as a way of releasing some of the stuff that occupies too much space in my brain. And let’s be honest, we are in the middle of a pandemic (still) and for an anxious person, that means my brain is constantly going a mile a minute even when it doesn’t need to be.

Self care is something I think we all need to spend more time doing. Taking moments to care of yourself instead of focusing solely on work or kids or whatever else it is. I believe that if we can give to ourselves, then we can give more to others. So yah. I believe this. It doesn’t mean I practice this. I absolutely suck at taking time for myself.

I don’t think it is an easy change to make. If you are someone who gives so much to others, it is a major shift to start thinking of yourself more. But I think it can be something to achieve. Start small? Maybe it is as little as taking two minutes to sit and breathe and reflect on the day. Or taking the time to make yourself tea. Or getting a babysitter so you can spend some quality time with your husband. Or getting to the gym or yoga class.  Or even just talking kindly to yourself. Mindful self care. Seems easy right?

I am going to be tracking my daily self care on my Instagram stories feed in order to make sure I give myself some love. Because I deserve it!

I would love to know what others do for mindful self care on a daily basis?

To say 2012 was a great year for me is an understatement. What happened in 2012?

1. Got engaged to the most amazing guy and finally understood what people meant when they said “I am marrying my best friend”.

2. Got married in Maui to my best friend. Seriously, how lucky am I?

3. Found out I was pregnant. Well we found out before we got married but who cares? We were getting married anyway and now our little one got to share in our big day.

4. Went on a family reunion cruise to the Caribbean. Those in attendance: My mom, 3 aunts, 3 uncles, 7 cousins and 1 second cousin.

2013 is going to be a great year. I can’t wait to meet this little guy who is due at the end of March. It is going to be a year of firsts and I, for one, am so excited about it all.
