What self care?

One of the key sources of support we can offer ourselves in times of change, growth and transition is self care. Too often, as we are attempting to complete all of our activities and tasks in our day, we forget about the importance of taking care of ourselves.

Today I invite you to create space on your “doing” list for a little self care. Perhaps you offer yourself a 15 minute time to sit quietly and to breathe, or make an appointment for some bodywork, a walk at lunch, or lunch with yourself. The only requirement for this date on your calendar is that it nurtures you and restores your energy level.

How do I get my needs met?

If I were to ask you how many needs you have which are unmet, what would your response be? Do you have a long list of unmet needs, or is the list short?

I invite you to make a list of unmet needs and spend the next couple of weeks identifying ways of getting those needs met. Your audit of unmet needs can include the following three questions:
1. Is this an important need for me right now?
2. What strategies have I used for getting this need met?
3. What creative options can I explore in the upcoming week to help me get this need met?

After conducting your audit, select your top 3-5 needs and see what progress you can make towards getting these needs met.

Surprisingly, often these unmet needs have never been expressed. Sometimes moving a desire or a wish from the unmet need column, may be as simple as asking for help.

Who will support me?

The path of self awareness and growth prompts shifts in our ways of being in the world and shifts in our behaviour. When we begin to manifest the shifts inside with behaviour change outside, people notice.

I invite you to take a few steps as you begin to make changes in your life. When people notice, complete the following three step process.
1. Invite them to support you in your change.
2. Be specific about the support that you would find helpful.
3. Recognize and acknowledge the support when it’s offered.

People in your life will appreciate you including them in your change. I also encourage you to recognize yourself in this process. Your most valuable source of support is your support for yourself. Be your own most encouraging cheerleader in this process – it’s the greatest, single most loving gift you can offer yourself.
