It’s been a while… Crocodile
Sometimes you just gotta take a break…. I have been AWOL for a while, I needed to take some time for me and that’s a good thing. Sometimes we have to take a step back and time out and I won’t ever apologise for putting my own needs first not in real life or blogContinue reading “It’s been a while… Crocodile”

As I look at the self-care wheel from my previous self-care post I see many things listed in the psychological section, such as self-reflection, therapy, self-awareness and sensoryContinue reading “What is Psychological self-care?”
Why Self-care?
What is self-care and why is it important? Self-care is often misunderstood. Many people confuse self-care with self-improvement. Self-care is caring for oneself in the moment, right now and every day. Its looking after yourself emotionally, spiritually, physically, professionally and personally. Over the next little while I will be taking some time to blog about each element ofContinue reading “Why Self-care?”
Gratitude.
Living life with a grateful heart. As I sit here in my living room watching the snow flakes flutter in the breeze, I snuggle deeper into my chair sipping my morning coffee whilst contemplating the day ahead. Then I remember that we only really have this moment. I close my eyes and hear the whirrContinue reading “Gratitude.”
