September is National Self Care Awareness Month
If you were to ask what I would title Chapter 30, I would reply, “How I Maintain”.
My first hour is dedicated to me and God. During this time I set the tone for the day. I:
✨ Give thanks
✨ Make up my bed
✨ Read the Verse of the Day and Devotion
✨ Listen to the Message of the Day
✨ Read the Mantra/Affirmation of the Day
✨ Pray
✨ Say out loud with a big smile on my face, "today is going to be a great day!"
✨ Turn on my God is Great playlist (link in bio)
✨ Hygiene
✨ Eat a tablespoon of seamoss, elderberry syrup and take my vitamins
✨ Have a glass of water and eat breakfast
I maintain my mental, emotional, physical health and spiritual wellbeing by:
✨ Praying without ceasing
✨ Keeping a positive mindset
✨ Staying in control of what I can (how I respond)
✨ Being aware of what I consume (nutrition, how I think, speak, what I listen to and watch)
✨ Being aware of the energy I give and receive
✨ Taking time to myself
“Self Care Sunday” is a routine I began a few months ago. Although you can also have a daily self care routine, having a designated self care day is something I strongly believe everyone should incorporate into their lifestyle. During this time I relax, reflect, reset and refocus.
I maintain my peace, happiness, a clear and calm mind by performing my self care routine which may include:
💛 Journaling
💛 Monthly massage (Pamper Us Mobile Massage Service)
💛 Monthly pedicure
💛 Stretching (StretchLab Huntersville)
💛 Embracing nature's blessings (park or lake)
Performing a self care routine will reduce overthinking, frustration, anxiety, depression, etc. Make sure your routine includes behaviors that will elevate your mind, body and spirit. A routine that will bring:
💛 A Clear Mind
💛 Relaxation
💛 Peace
💛 Happiness
💛 Growth / Elevation
I hope this will inspire someone today
As always, Be Great and Elevate! ✨
Love y’all, Demetria 💛
