"We all have a Super Hero inside us" but sometimes that hero needs a bit of self care.

What exactly is self care?  It's taking care of yourself.  I find when I'm juggling home, family, job and now the fate of our country that "me" is the daily loser.  When I get busy my yoga class and my daily recharge by the ocean dog walk are the first things to go.  Next is eating good and good for me food.

I also have a low but constant level of anxiety that's hard to shake.  Sh*t just keeps happening and it's hard to unplug.  So much has happened in the past months that I forget about events, comments and laws that outraged me.  Some new crisis overtakes the news, freaks me out and makes it hard for me to balance myself.

Here are some easy tips to help you take care of yourself so you can care for others and our country.

Sleep- routines can help, unplug electronics, try a few yoga stretches, brew a pot of herbal tea, read a bit of a book.  One routine I love at night is massaging our Bring on the Z balm to the bottom of my feet once I'm in bed for good.  It helps the essential oils get into your bloodstream and everyone's feet need a bit of love.

Unplug from the news- it's hard I know but try your best.  Find a series on Netflix for some bing watching to help get some news relief.

Cook and tidy the house- making good healthy food and clearing away the clutter can help calm your mind and use up some of that nervous energy.

Get outside- this is so important, we need sunshine and nature to stay grounded.

Exercise- getting your body moving helps clear out the mental cobwebs.

Talk to folks and smile and strangers.  We all need to feel connected.
