Thank You, Self-Care

What are you most grateful for in your life? Take a moment to reflect from the guidance of this practice.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, self-care—and butternut squash soup.

In the acknowledgments section of my second award-winning book, How to Stay Calm in Chaos: An Everyday Self-Care Guide, I thank my self-care practices. They are what carry me through my many roles: full-time working mom, wife, author, blogger, yoga teacher and self-care speaker. They were my foundation for doing all these things throughout the pandemic.

It is in the journaling, meditating, practicing yoga, exercising, deep breathing, connecting with nature and preparing nourishing meals where I can truly take care of myself, and share how others can do the same so they can live well, too.

When you gather with family and friends, be sure to be truly present with them. Put your smartphone down and start living. There is so much to be thankful for, beginning with ourselves and the people we love.
