Wellness Wednesday

Today wellness is getting my workouts done early, drinking fruit infused water, using my swav body butter, catching up on my #mindfulness readings and watching two of my favorite movies #brownsugar & #somethingsgottagive  #wellness #wellnesstips #bewell #takecareofyou #wednesdaywisdom #healthmatters #selfcare #wednesdays #healthyeating #wellnesslifestyle #fitness #wellnessjourney #motivation #healthandhappiness #healthliving #livewell #healthylifestyle #health #lifestyle  #betterhealth #wednesdayvibes #wednesdaymotivation

Even When You Don’t Feel Like It

In Ohio we are going into week 3 of our state's "Stay At Home" initiative. It hits me today that my regular routine of beginning my days have been so off. Early this morning I saw a video by Eric Thomas that talked about getting up and going about your day in the manner that you normally would.

As I sat and watched the video, I realized that I have not even touched my makeup bag in almost three weeks. Like many moms I'm juggling several things all at one time. After watching the video I awoke with a renewed mindset to do those tasks that I'd become accustomed to every morning. I reached for my bag and applied a simple nude eye and some Fenty Gloss Bomb. Can I mention this on a site that discusses ministry? Yep! Nearly all of my saved girlfriends wear makeup, so it's ok.

Though this isn't simply about makeup. This is about continuing to be ourselves and doing those things that we routinely do, even when we don't feel like it. Over the course of the day we are teaching, cooking, praying, watching the news and checking in on love ones. 

Sis, don't forget about yourself. Think about your daily routine. Are you sticking with it? Have you let some things go, while you hold the fort together? Take those moments to take care of you too.

Hope You Had A Fab Friday!!!!!

Self-Care Saturdays

How are you? How was your day? 

Today, self-care for me was reclining in a chair and reading a book. It was a peaceful moment in which I was kind to myself. Yes, you can be kind to yourself and you should be kind to yourself. This is a difficult time for us and it is also a gift to simply sit with yourself, to rest and to reset.

Whether it's a good book or a fashion magazine, grab a blanket, turn on the fireplace, if you have one, grab a cup of tea or hot chocolate and curl up and just be good to you. 

Self-care takes work & you are worth working for.
