Replenishment. Nourishment. Restoration.
These are the three words I'm focusing on right now.
After a pretty challenging six weeks of illness, travel, motherhood, business and everything in between, I've realised just how depleted I've been feeling.
For a while, self-care was really about survival. Getting through the day, managing my limited energy and doing what absolutely needed to be done.
But I'm ready to move beyond just getting through and start feeling like myself again.
I've talked about self-care for years, and something I always come back to is the idea of a self-care buffet.
All the wonderful things that make us feel good, support our wellbeing and bring us joy.
For me, that's journalling, tarot, meditation, beach walks, sunshine, music, dancing, seeing friends, getting enough sleep and spending time doing things I genuinely enjoy.
I don't have to do all of them every day. I just need to remember what's available to me and choose what I have the energy and capacity for.
And especially when the world feels heavy, sometimes that means protecting my energy, stepping away from the news or giving myself permission to rest.
One thing I'm reminding myself is that I deserve to feel good in my life, not just function in it.
And so do you.
So I'd love to know, what's something you've been missing from your own self-care buffet that you'd like to bring back into your life?
