Self-care
I care for myself and feel at peace
Being there for others is an important part of life. To be there for others we must be there for ourselves. In the busyness of life we can neglect what and who we are. There are three aspects to ourselves: physical, mental and spiritual. All three are important. Self-care is involves devoting attention and time to all three.
I take care of my physical aspect by exercising regularly, eating right and getting enough sleep. I also avoid those things that harm my body. I take of my mental aspect by reading uplifting books and learning about those things that help all three aspects – physical, mental and spiritual. Denials and affirmations are used to shift my consciousness.
I take care to remember my spiritual aspect by investing time in meditation and prayer. Meditation and prayer stimulate the generation of useful Divine Ideas. They also supports are mental and physical natures.
Each and every day, it is important that I let go of the busyness of life and the care of others. I invest in my own self-care. In these precious times I feel renewed and at peace. This, in turn, builds my capacity to support others.
