Finding My Way Back To Me

Happiness in all of the Holidays being celebrated in this season!  As the season of celebration is upon us I find I need to spend more time on simple stress management.  It is simply a matter of dealing with more sometimes being placed on an already full plate.  I will exercise more and be careful about my indulgences on THE plate.  However, I need a little more.  Something I enjoy doing is reframing things that I do habitually.  For example, taking off my makeup at the end of the day changes to washing away the day and preparing for the shift into rest.  Putting on hand cream during the day becomes anointing myself as I am sacred.   Playing soft cheerful music and lighting a candle while cooking creates a mood and pleasant experience.  Taking what we do habitually and making it more of an indulgence vs a chore is quite pleasant.  The act does not change but the intention does, that can be enough!  Try it if you are not already doing it, you are worth it and  it may change the mood of those around you too!!  Keep Yourself Sacred!
