THIS WEEK'S SUBJECT IS  SELF-CARE

I actually did not sign up for this subject because I didn't think I had much to say about it.
But then I came across this site:

 http://www.utdallas.edu/counseling/selfcare/

 which was full of great advice; some of it is excerpted from their post.
This was really helpful for me because I rarely think about taking "care" of myself, except in the most indulgent and unhealthy ways.  ("Go ahead, have that ice cream cone or pizza; another hour of sleep won't hurt"....you know what I mean!)

UT Dallas describes self-care as "a way of living that incorporates behavior that helps you to be refreshed and replenished."  It is your personal motivator to grow as a person. 

 

Who doesn't need that?!?

Some ideas....

And do them!  (I'm going to make paper dolls and read mystery novels)

I'm sure you have many great ways to care for and nurture yourself.  I would love to hear about them.

Creatively Yours,
