COVID-19 highlights how we're all connected, and how we need to focus on self-care for all, all the time

COVID-19: It’s Time for Self Care for All

Even before COVID-19, I was a big advocate for self care. In my work as an integrative health coach, I encourage women especially (though hello guys, I see you and work with you too!) to take care of themselves, so they can continue to care for who and what’s most important to them.

a sunset reset my thinking so i could be aware and take care of my needs

Step 15: Press Pause Before Saying Yes

The next time someone approaches you with a request - any request - press pause before saying yes. Why? Because you don't have to do it all. Really, you don't. And whenever we say yes to one commitment, we automatically say no to others that may be as or more important. We can't do it all.

show up anyway when the going gets tough

Step 9: Feeling Unprepared? Show Up Anyway

At different times in our lives, we each encounter situations for which we feel unprepared. Maybe it's a difficult family situation with no end in sight, a work project that grows bigger each day, or simply a personal goal that seems out of reach. Each step hasn't gone as planned. Progress seems elusive. And you feel ill-equipped to finish. If you gave in to your stinkin' thinkin', you might … [Read more...] about Step 9: Feeling Unprepared? Show Up Anyway

Waiting for Wednesday

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”— Micah 6:8 (NIV) How is it with your soul? John Wesley, one of the founders of the Methodist movement in the 18th century, used to open small group meetings by asking that question.
