Good morning my dear ones! It's time for Self Care Sunday. Hopefully you've been taking good care of yourself! This time of the year is stressful for a lot of us. We have Thanksgiving, dealing with our families, we have to start thinking about our Christmas shopping. We have so much stress in our lives, which means we have to balance it out with taking care of ourselves. There's a great way to do this.
It's also completely free.
Go outside! I know, simple right? If you're a parent you've probably told your kids more than once, to "go outside and play". It isn't good to be cooped up all day, in front of the computer or television, on the cellphone, stuck behind our desks, or busy with work. You need to go outside too!
Studies have shown that being out in nature is a great healer. Taking walks, even short ones, are good for you. It's a great way to get a little exercise and has a lot of other benefits. Walking out in nature can reduce stress, lower your blood pressure, decrease your risk of depression, and relax you. If you're a fan of Mama Earth like I am, it can bring you closer to God/Universe/Divine. All of those benefits just by taking a few minutes to walk around the block or through the park.
Make sure that this month you are paying close attention to your stress levels and putting you first!
Have you spent some time outside this week?
