Nurturing the Self

This week was absolutely crazy hectic. I don't know how it all fit into one week.

I pushed to the limit again with regard to lack of sleep. I got very little sleep when I flew out of NYC to Buffalo and back, then stayed up all night (again) to go to Nile Rodgers' video shoot - all within a 70 hour window.

Here's the thing though... I recognized the end of the line and took a couple of days to recuperate. I ate healthy and rested most of the day on Friday, and took it easy on Saturday too. I needed to.

Louise Hay's calendar for Saturday (Valentine's Day) said this:

I took it to heart. ;)

Nurturing myself became a real part of making it all possible and staying healthy. I exercised, took rest when I needed it, did the things I really wanted to do, eliminated those tasks that could wait and didn't feel guilty about it. I ate well, drank plenty of water and managed to do four workouts. I smiled, laughed and enjoyed the beautiful company of good friends. There's always much to be grateful for.

I Googled "nurture yourself" and found some nice articles on the subject:

I'll keep self-nurturing in mind this week. I'll keep busy, take good care of myself and be grateful for everything I can think of.

I encourage everyone here to do something - anything - just for yourself. There are so many suggestions in the links above.
