Self-Care Is About FUN
Self-care has become a conversation not just in healthcare; various other groups and professions are talking about it as well. Many hear the words yet for some it is not quite clear how to achieve this self-care. One day you may find your pot is dry; that you are thirsty for something to make you whole. Like in an airplane when the oxygen mask drops, in order to serve others, you have to first serve yourself. So take a breath and figure out what will truly nurture you (mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually). If you find your tank is near empty, you need to lead yourself back to wholeness. You do this through FUN.
FUN is Feeling Unconditional Nurturance. “Nurturance is providing the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual nourishment and care for oneself.” Self-care is care provided by you for you! Too many times in this life we believe if we have a fit body and sound mind we should find health and wellness; we often forget to fulfill our own emotional and spiritual needs. Now is the time to feel your ‘bodies of consciousness,’ those that go beyond what we can see, feel, smell, hear and taste. Though as physical beings these 5 senses are our foundational blocks of who we are and how we can be nurtured, such as seeing a beautiful sunset, feeling the hug of a loved one, smelling the air after a rain, hearing the laughter of a child, or tasting a piece of good chocolate. This is how you to start to feel the FUN, yet we all need more!
You must become centered, as in self-centered (which is not selfish), and do something just for you. Caring for yourself does not have to cost much, though you may choose something that will; either can be fulfilling. Allowing yourself the right to choose something that does have a cost – be it time, money, or space, is about allowing you to truly care for yourself! It can range from the simple to the complex, such as, having a Reiki treatment or choosing to become the Reiki Master; experiencing PEMF or buying your own PEMF mat; or planning a getaway for a day or perhaps a week. Tap into your soul by starting a bucket list of wishes. You should be granting these soul wishes to yourself. Start today, say yes to FUN!
