Self-care & Overcoming!

Self-care...so important. Very important. Self-care is my middle name – LOL!! I spend so much time focusing on self-care – from eating what I want, to hitting the gym day after day, to shopping sprees. But self-care is not always about “events” or “things”. Self-care is about being selfish and loving yourself.


Overcoming”...let me speak on this big word. Overcoming is such a STRONG word. Let me define it..." succeeding in dealing with a problem or difficulty". Now...you may ask how overcoming relates to self-care. Well...let me tell you – being able to overcome your past, your pain, your suffering, and your problems is one form of SELF-CARE.


I have had to overcome so much since the age of 30. I can’t even speak on all of the bullshit I have pushed through and got over. And now...I am 51 and I focus completely on self-care and doing things that make me feel GREAT and HAPPY. I have overcome and addressed things that others have buried. I believe in getting issues and problems off of your chest.



So...let me wrap this all up…fall is here and I have a simple “list of things to do” related to self-care:


- Make a pot of pumpkin soup. I may even make a few other pots of hearty soups.


- Bake some Brussels sprouts and other “fall” veggies.


- Make a pot of veggie stew.


- Build a fall candle display to enjoy all the way into December.


- Lastly, spend one evening or weekend unplugging from screens.



Of course...I am still on my Whole 30 Lifestyle and trying to reduce my spending.



Well...I am off to do fall things!!
