Getting to finish a good book, lunch with a friend, A shopping trip, a spa day or maybe a mini vacation? Whatever it is you do to bring you back to your center. The only person who knows the answer is to what your recharge activity is is you. That thing you do that gives you that feeling of excitement and exhiliration that if you could feel that feeling everday you could deal with this thing called life. Allowing mind, body and soul to come back in allignment. That’s self care. It’s a must, not optional. Without it you get burnt out and usually give in, causing misery. How often you need self care is completely up to you and your pshyci. Alone or with others, up to you. You are the only person who knows when your soul is truly satisfied and whats needed to accomplish it. It would be unrealistic to say everyday will be euphoric. What you can however have is a content feeling routinly. Meaning peace can be a part of your daily exsistence. You wil love life, want to wake up and take part in it. Front and center eager to lesrn all it’s willing to offer. Yes the gung ho goes away occasionaly. Realisticly you are not always going to be able to recharge right away. Knowing the recharge is coming is usually just enough to keep sain until you can. It gives you that reason to keep moving forward.

Majority of people do not have the extra time or money. Leaving them feeling as though they never reach 100%. In all honesty it can be as simple as a bath/shower alone, connect with nature and take a walk, sit outside, medditation, excercise, a phone call, a good movie, prayer, nap. Just to name a few.

Remeber every smell, color, sound, anything that made you smile, laugh or just felt good. Admire how blessed you are and give thanks for it. Doing this regularly can make the most unbearable life worth getting up and participating in. When you find a inner happiness with life it makes it difficult to see things in a negative way. Causing you to be more valuable to yourself. When you value yourself enough to take care of yourself the more you will value your worth and how you use your time.
