30 Day Self-Care Challenge!
Self-Care Excellence Journey! 🎯 Over the course of June, we'll be sharing valuable insights, effective strategies, and practical tools to help you prioritize self-care and foster a healthy lifestyle. Who is in?! There is no need to register/sign up for this round, but I am here to hold you accountable. I am here to share a wealth of resources that will equip you with the tools to enhance your overall quality of life. 🥳 Day 1 of 30: Journaling for Self-Reflection Write in your journal for 10 minutes daily, exploring your thoughts and emotions. If you’re not thinking about anything and aren’t experiencing any emotions - (often not likely) - then write gratitude prompts. At the end of each journaling experience, take a moment to affirm yourself. Affirmation involves recognizing and acknowledging your worth, strengths, and positive qualities. Here's an example of affirming yourself: “I am human and give myself permission to make mistakes.” If you’re the person that benefits from prompts to choose from, here are a few: What brings me joy, and how can I incorporate more of it into my life? What do I need right now at this moment? What challenges or obstacles have I overcome recently, and what lessons did I learn from them? What or who interrupted my spirit today? What would I tell my younger self?
