21-Day Yoga Challenge: Nurture & Nourish: Challenge starts October 17th
We’ve heard the term “self-care” bandied about a lot lately. Have you ever wondered what that means, exactly? We’re often so busy taking care of others in our lives from partners, pets, co-workers, and everyone we encounter, we don’t leave enough fuel in the tank to take care of ourselves. Are you as kind to yourself as you are to the person you love most?
Most of us aren’t. But it’s vital to love and care for yourself so you’re at your strongest, happiest, and most resilient. Self-care can take many forms, like ensuring your get a good night’s sleep every night, eating a balanced diet, spending time with friends and loved ones, spending time in nature, making sure you have plenty of play time and aren’t logging excessive hours at work.
Take a moment to consider what depletes you or makes you anxious. Stress is a very individual factor so take the time to be mindful about your triggers. Many rituals and pastimes can nurture and nourish you––there’s no one-size fits all recipe.
Grab a journal or piece of paper and write down five things that make you happy, no matter what. Your best friend? A walk through the woods? A good book? Dancing? Fill in the blank. Once you’ve accumulated a list, pick one thing and do it now! Even if that means dancing around your living room in your pajamas with only your cat watching. Then plan time in your week to do something just for you! You’ll feel happier and stronger and be able to show up for everyone in your life at your best.
Yoga and mindful movement have an incredible power to nurture your body, your mind, and your heart. There’s a style for every body, every mood, and every day. If you need to boost your energy, choose a vigorous fun Vinyasa or fusion class. If you need to soothe your nerves and even your soul, choose a gentle practice like Yin or restorative yoga.
