SELF-CARE ON THE GO

14/12/2019

0 Comments

 
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.

For over 17 years, I have combined research and the experience of working with 1000s of children, adolescents and parents to help other women like you integrate mindfulness and prioritise self-care in their busy lives. You are welcome to book a private consultation to discuss your concerns and your goals and work with me to make the change you are looking for.

Until next time, take care of YOI

​Kim
