Self Care Holidays

The holidays (and I count the holidays from my birthday in mid-October into January) is the time of year that I really need to up my self care in the ways that are actually helpful.

Like, remembering to take a few moments here and there to soothe my nervous system.

Remembering to set boundaries and to say no.

Remembering to make space for grieving.

Remembering to create space for being without the do-do-doing.

I’m currently sharing the material from my group program Self Care Holidays to paid subscribers (the second post will go out tomorrow morning). Each week you receive an essay, two nervous system regulating exercises, and some writing prompts.

You can become a subscriber (and support my work and writing too)…
