I’m still in my unplanned pause, but I wanted to let you know that I’m over on the Seek Your Course blog today with a guest post on self care.
For me, self care is often about balance, as I wrote in the guest post. You hear me talk about “balance” here often.
Self care is also about listening to the whispers that tell me to when to slow down and when to go all out. Right now, my self care is remaining “paused” even though I don’t fully understand why I feel this way. I’m hanging out with my Mom, obsessively watching Downton Abbey and reading fluff novels. It’s hard to see where this will lead me creatively, but I’m not going to fight it.
What is “self care” for you? Do you know?
I wrote a long comment on your Seek Your Course article. However, when I was going back over it, I lost all of it. Part of my self care is to not do it again. Maybe we can talk about it sometime on a hike :-))
Just great that you know when to listen to your own advise. Downton Abbey… guess I am going to have to watch that. Starting soon! Enjoy your break
I appreciate your “paused” state and your willingness to trust it’s just what you need to be doing right now. I took the week off from all my social media and posting my daily iPhone images. I’m going deep seeing where I am at 55 as my youngest son turns 18 today! We are far from static creatures even in a presumed “paused: state!!
Thank you so much for your comment, Mary. You are right, there is something going on even under the “paused” state, I can tell. Enjoy your son’s 18th birthday, and the new phase of life you are entering with this milestone.
