I have enjoyed this month of daily self-care and will definitely continue this going forward. One of the things that I have noticed most of all is that I have not been down on myself nearly as much as I normally am. I am not saying that I'm down on myself all of the time, but I do have my moments. And this month, not so much. Being good to myself each and every day has helped me to let go of things, process things and leave them in the past where they belong. It has made me more appreciative of what I have and who I have in my life. And that is a good thing.
One of the things that I have done which has made a huge difference is how I go about my daily lists. You all know that I love making lists. I just cannot help it LOL Still, each day I had a list of things to get done and I almost never got them all done on the day they had been assigned. I found myself getting upset because I was not doing all of the things I needed to do. I was putting pressure on myself to get these things done when there was really no reason other than it was something to do. Once I removed that pressure, I have found myself to be more relaxed and as a result, more productive. Yes, I do still have a to-do list but I am handling it differently and it works for me. It is now giving me the time to be good to myself each day. That is a good feeling.
But I am finding that just taking this time every day for myself grounds me and gives me a better outlook on things. It relaxes me and makes life more positive. Sometimes it is listening to music, sometimes it is my daily devotions, some days it is letter writing. But with each thing I do for myself, I feel more of who I truly am and can truly be. That is a blessing to carry forward. That is all.
