self-care


For most people in my networks, times are tough. Wars and rumors of war, natural and man-made disasters, it's literally getting hot in here!

This post is for you, if you are indeed in the midst of a VUCA moment or season. 10 ideas for self-care that won't cost you anything.

1. Mindfulness and Meditation


🙏 One of the most accessible forms of self-care is mindfulness and meditation. Taking just a few minutes each day to focus on your breath can significantly reduce stress levels.
"You can’t always control what goes on outside, but you can always control what goes on inside." – Tony Robbins

2. Nature Walks
🌲 🌳 🌴 Spending time in nature is a therapeutic way to disconnect from stress and reconnect with yourself. Even a short walk in a local park can rejuvenate your mind and body.

3. Journaling
✍ Writing down your thoughts and feelings is a powerful way to process emotions and stay focused on your goals. Use a simple notebook to start a daily journaling habit. Write it out...

4. Deep Breathing Exercises
👃 Practicing deep breathing exercises can help manage anxiety and improve mental clarity. Techniques such as the 4-7-8 breath can be done anywhere, making it an easy and free way to stay calm.

5. Digital Detox
🤳 Taking a break from social media and news can help reduce stress and prevent burnout. Allocate specific times of the day to check in on updates to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

6. Connecting with Loved Ones
💕 Spending quality time with family and friends, even if it’s through virtual means, can provide much-needed emotional support and enhance your well-being.
"The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships." – Tony Robbins

7. Creative Outlets
🎷 Engaging in creative activities like drawing, writing, or playing an instrument can be an excellent way to express yourself and reduce stress.

8. Regular Exercise
🧘‍♀️ Incorporating physical exercise into your routine, whether it’s yoga, running, or even home workouts, can greatly improve your mood and energy levels. Move that body!

9. Healthy Eating
🥗 🥑 🍲 Paying attention to your diet and eating nutritious foods can help you stay physically and mentally strong. Focus on affordable, healthy options like fruits, vegetables, and grains.

10. Practicing Gratitude
🙏 Taking a moment each day to reflect on what you’re grateful for can shift your mindset and improve your overall outlook on life.

During these crazy-making times, it's essential for each one to practice self-for our own sake, and so that we are not pouring out of an empty cup. Implementing these no-cost self-care strategies can make a significant difference in managing stress and maintaining a positive mindset.

I know you know all this stuff already, but it doesn't hurt to be reminded. Please, take good care of yourself.

What are you doing to care for yourself?
