Monday’s 7 p.m.
meeting resulted in me returning home at a bit past 10 p.m. that night. What culminated from
this unforeseen work-related event (sometimes, stuff just happens) were the little
steps I took all throughout the day, on Tuesday, to nurture and care for
myself in both meaningful and mindful ways.
My morning: I began the day off right, affirming as I dressed. Filled with yummy apple cider tea, I took my favorite travel mug along with me to work. Mid-morning, I
gifted myself a dedicated 5-minute break, treating myself to a hand massage; using the
delicious, organic lotion featured in the photo above. I’d been saving that yummy packet of
bliss for several months—already knowing there’d be the perfect time for an indulgence such
as this.
Lunch: I took my myself out to a sacred solo lunch where I savored a delectable chocolate-banana soy smoothie
off-site before heading back into the office for a 1:30 p.m. meeting. This precious time alone allowed me to “refill my
well,” prior to putting my “game face” back on.
Tuesday evening: Sometimes the fates just work out in our
favor, huh? I had booked a massage
for Tuesday evening—several weeks ago.
No surprise--it was exactly
what I needed to further relax, work out the kinks and de-stress on an even
deeper level. Afterwards, I engaged in a few
chill yoga poses at home (so
fab!).
Today: It’s pretty simple... I’m celebrating the fact that I have the next
five days off from the 9 to 5. I’m
guessing it’s already clear what that means, right? Yes, this equates to added rest, relaxation and, decidedly, my continued practice
of more self-nurturing!
Joy and peace this
awesome Wednesday morning! T.
