Attending to the basics (DW#675)
If you are a perfectionist, you have already started researching the "best" and most "perfect" self-care routines. You may have downloaded some apps and trackers and telling yourself that once you have done enough research and have a handle on best practices, you will start your routine. (Please do not ask me how I know this . .)
If this describes you, please STOP right now.
Instead of making self-care an elaborate and unattainable practice that takes up three hours of your time, keep it super simple. Start with your most basic needs for now.
What is the most basic self-care routine that can have a major impact on our wellbeing?
Breathing.
Yes, yes, of course we are already doing it but in order to make it part of self-care, we need to be a little bit intentional about breathing.
Over the next couple of days, just notice how you are breathing. Is it shallow or deep? What happens to your breath when you are stressed or anxious?
