The start of my self-care journey - To get star The start of my self-care journey - 
To get started, I wanted to include here what I thought about self-care 2 years ago. The funny thing is that I didn’t know there was such a thing. So here goes, a little back in time to one of my journal entries:
“I watched a Youtube video today, from someone I follow. She was talking about treating yourself and doing self-care and the difference between the two. I never heard of self-care before. I know I need to give myself some loving care to help me feel better. I had to go dig in a little more about it. I was intrigued, and especially with this question… 'What’s the difference between treats and self-care?' 
Because to me, self-care IS a treat. But here’s what I discovered...I had it wrong. 
Self-care are those things that you do or little routines that make you feel good and look good, which you need to take care of yourself, but that we often put off because we’re too busy. 
And treats are those occasional, out of the norm things that don’t happen every day but that we love and really enjoy and need, in order to feel joy.
I guess that could be like a once a week thing maybe? Treats are more those things you do once in a while and they are fun and relaxing and needed, but they aren’t those things that sustain my daily mood and health. Taking care of myself involves daily habits and routines that keeps my mood high, my stress low and my peace balanced. Some self care habits I’m thinking of right now that I could do better in: wash my face, put on some lotion...

Why the need for self-care?. So yes, I left off l Why the need for self-care?.
So yes, I left off last time with my little secret, of what happened next…
What came next was a slow and steady recovery process. This is what I’ll be sharing here on this blog and all my posts to come. 
Some of my realizations, discoveries about myself, the ups and downs of this journey. Lessons I’ve learned, inner work practices, some difficulties and challenges, as well as happy moments. Letting go of things that didn’t serve me anymore, and welcoming in what I really wanted in my life! (This is a continual process, by the way!) 
If I could sum it all up in one word it would have to be SELF-CARE. Yes, I’m finally paying attention to this part of my life that I never took the time for before. It was selfish or a waste of time, it was conceited and I felt guilty taking time for myself and not doing everything for everyone else… but sad to say, that’s why I ended up in the state I did. If more of us took time to love ourselves by giving ourselves permission to take better care of ourselves, to give ourselves more time and attention, not only would it change our own lives, like it has for me, and many many other’s as well, but it would help to make this world a better place too. Cause we’ll be coming from a place of peace and love and joy, instead of fear, worry or stress. Who wants to be with a person like that anyway? Today, I can’t afford NOT to take this time of SELF-CARE and I want to encourage you that you can feel that way too.
If this can speak to anyone, or encourage you along your journey through a creative block as an artist, or if you’re going through a low time in your life, please read on. Cause maybe they’ll be something here for you, that will spark your attention or give you a few ideas, hacks or inspirations to start doing some things and stop doing other things as you join the band-wagon of Self-care. 
I’ll be sharing some of my morning journals as well as my daily self-care logs, some craft projects I do, some reflections, etc. Because since I’ve decided that I will do ...

Welcome to my self-care blog. This is my first bl Welcome to my self-care blog.
This is my first blog post ever and I’m a bit uncomfortable starting it. But who is ever totally courageous, comfortable and confident about starting something different and new or maybe scary?
Well then, why am I doing it, you may ask? In order to answer that I’m going to go back in time a little. 
Try to imagine… this is me 3 years ago… stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, one of the those people-pleasers, a worry-wart full of “what if’s" and "why’s" and "how’s" taking up a lot of energy. I kept busy and worked hard, but I worked myself crazy too. No time for me, much less to enjoy my life I was living. I had things to accomplish, high goals to shoot for, an image to keep up with, friends and family to impress… and not speaking of health problems popping up from all over the place. Emotionally depleted, no real joy or passions. Everything had become an energy drain. 
For a time I felt like just bumming out, sleeping or doing totally nothing, being all by myself with my sad self or just watching other’s lives on YouTube. I carried around so much past baggage that still affected me from my childhood and youth. I held on to pains and hurts from difficult situations, not having fully recovered. 
I’m an artist but I couldn’t find the joy to even draw. I was blocked and frustrated cause I wasn’t able to put what I wanted on paper. Was this a burn-out? Is this what depression felt like? I don’t know, I never experienced this before. But I knew something was wrong and more clearly than that, something had to change. I knew that I didn’t want this to linger for much longer and I needed a resetting, big time! 
I’ll let you in on my little secret of what I decided to do, in my next post.

A new craft page for this week. Any one else going A new craft page for this week. Any one else going through some challenges in life lately? 
I've been taking a little time to ponder this question... "What is my most challenging feeling today?" and then "What are those thoughts, qualities and actions that will most serve me and support my well-being?" This opens me up to more love and compassion and more room for growth and opportunities. Today, I'm excited with these challenges as I know it's a powerful turning point for me, helping my confidence grow in new ways, and that's a BIG deal!
