The Hard Yards of Self Care.
Here at Sea and Land Therapy, we work a lot with the concepts known as ‘Self-Care’. It can sometimes be misinterpreted as something that is ‘fluffy’ or requires indulgence. But it is essential for Well-Being and time must be Made for it. That time does not need to be hours, it can be minutes as long as it’s consistent in our daily pattern of lives.
It is more than a bubble bath with rose petals and tealights. It encompasses all the critical elements in order to thrive and enjoy life and our relationships. Such as Boundaries, Self-Regulation, Meaning and Purpose, Making connections and positive experiences, rest and resourcing. At times it can be robust and pro-active, at others sensitive, protective and regenerative. Most importantly, it is a constant, it requires us to be aware of it, make time for ourselves, others and compromise where it’s appropriate.
Have a think, do you make time for yourself? Do you have the ability to reset, refuel, readjust and at times compromise. If not, what can you do to make the small changes to make time for the things, relationships and pursuits that give you contentment and happiness? 🌊& 🏔️
