"Self-care is the heartbeat of your success" - Createful-Self Coaching

I fell out of a train....

Not my finest moment but I ended up with a black eye, cut to my head and trauma to my shoulder.

As an artist, this was tragic but as a mother, this was world ending.

I was out of action…by force not by choice. But this was a good chance to rest. And I took it, but only until my pain got to manageable levels (aka not long enough)  then I started bit by bit taking back my responsibilities.

But all I achieved in my haste and disregard to listen to my body was prolonged recovery and further injury to my shoulder.

  Feeling disconnected? Here's 6 Self-coaching Questions for Better Self-Alignment

I get it, life is busy, and you’re awesome and multi-tasking and juggling and spinning plates and putting out fires and you probably could add more…

BUT - do you really have to do it all?

Ask yourself, is there a better way to get it ‘all’ without risk of breakdown, burnout and overwhelm?

YES!

Self-care - You’ve probably heard it all, but have you taken the time to really make it personal to you?

Now I’m not talking pamper days, and spa retreats - those are nice, but there’s more to it.

"self-care is the heartbeat of your success"

Here's a few questions to ask yourself to learn where you are in your self-care journey:

1. How am I feeding my soul?

No matter you faith or spiritual leaning, what is it that you are doing to nurture it?

2. How am I protecting your energy?

Whether physical or mental, are you doing things that drain you or rejuvenate you?

3. What can I let go of that isn't benefiting me?

Is there a habit, idea, negative thought or grudge that you're holding on to? Are their things, people or places that no longer align with your purpose?

4. What am I consuming on a regular basis?

Is it encouraging and uplifting? Is it time wasting and mind numbing? Is it creating in you a desire to be better, do better, feel better?

5. How am I catering to my inner-child?

The care-free, fearless, imaginative, inquisitive side we start off with, which usually gets neglected as we get older? What dreams did the younger you have that remain unfulfilled?

6. What voice am I listening to, my inner critic or inner cheerleader?

Which voice are you giving the stage to? The voice that say's "you got this!" or the once that say "you are not capable enough" ?

True holistic self-care is the heartbeat of your success - don’t let it flatline in the pursuit of doing it all at the expense of what’s really important - sound mind and body. 

I challenge you today, to sit down, and just check in with yourself and the last time you did something for you…truly for you.

Keep going and growing 💪🏾✨
