Creating Connection 

SELF-CARE ON THE GO

14/12/2019

 
There's one thing that's guaranteed to happen at Christmas...

Waiting...
  • Waiting in a queue to purchase a gift
  • Waiting in a queue at the shopping centre
  • Waiting on the escalator that you would normally power walk down
  • Waiting in the car park for a car to leave

And what can happen when you wait?

Frustration, impatience. There's so much to do, why can't everyone just hurry up or move quicker.

Well no matter how much you want that to happen, it's probably not going to.

So what can you do?

Believe it or not, this is a great time to practice tapping into your inner calm.  Here's one way to practice self-care on the go.

Simply roll your shoulders up and back and take a deep breath, then repeat the breathing. Focus your attention inward to your breath instead of outwards towards what is going on around you.

Yep, that's it - simple, on the go self-care that works.

Until next time, keep it simple and...

Take care of yourself.
