I wrote this list after a church meeting. I had been feeling very empty spiritually and a little bit lost. This meeting was excatly what I needed to get me moving back towards my Heavenly Father. When I got home I wrote this list to help remind me of what I learned and ways I can take care of myself.
I hope this list helps you also.
Talk kindly to and about yourself. That means no putting yourself down to others for a “joke”. No telling yourself you are stupid fat crazy etc.
Let yourself feel things without judgement. No telling yourself you are useless because you are having an anxiety attack AGAIN! Just feel it and let it go.
Let the Holy Ghost into your life. He will tell you who you truly are. You can know and feel that you are a very special child of Heavenly Father. Let him talk to you.
Move your body. Nothing feels better than moving and stretching.
Rest your body. Ok napping feels better especially after moving and stretching.
Feed your body good things. Mostly that means healthy foods that feed and help your body. But sometimes that means feeding your body a treat.
Fill your mind and soul with good things. Good books, beautiful artwork, sunsets that catch the clouds on fire.
Give of yourself. Not to the point of exhaustion. But reach out and help someone. Listen to your children’s problems or stories even when you just really want to finish that blog post.
Find your people and nurture those relationships. Sometimes it is hard to find the people you really click with. But when you do – don’t let those relationships fall to the wayside.
