Last week, one of my readers asked me to share my best self-care secret. Because life isn’t static and circumstances change, it’s impossible to pick just one.

So I told her I’d share twenty in this week’s blog.

These are the things I try to do almost every day. When I don’t, I never beat myself up, though. That would be bad self-care .

See if any work for you…

• Wake up grateful.
• Drink half your body weight in water (in ounces).
• Put space in your calendar between commitments or appointments so you stay in the flow.
• Look for one thing in nature that astonishes you.
• Challenge your perfectionism by allowing good enough to be good enough.
• Smile.
• Start the week by looking at your calendar to see if any engagement makes you groan. If you find something, change it.
• Stop hanging out with people who care more about hearing their own voice than mutual conversation.
• Take a picture of a bird or an animal.
• Move your body in some fun way.
• Give away one thing you no longer love or need.
• Eat lots of green vegetables.
• Say thank you.  A lot.
• Go to bed early.
• Keep a flower nearby.
• Do something helpful and loving for someone else.
• Listen to a favorite piece of music.
• Meditate, even if only for ten minutes.
• Tell yourself, “I love you, sweetheart” in the most tender-loving way.
• Laugh.  Then laugh some more.

There you have it – a handy self-care list!  Enjoy your day .
