Here's is a simple self care tip for brave hearts that are feeling tired or just worn down:
Get moving!
Find something you enjoy--dancing, cleaning, walking, biking working out, boating, gardening, or running--whatever it is, just do it! It doesn't have to be long or hard, but it does need to be moving!
Moving when I feel physically and/or emotionally spent seems counterintuitive -- expend more energy-- I don't even know if I have any energy left. I'm much more inclined to curl up. However, as I move, I do feel a subtle shift. It takes a little time.
There are challenges for me. The toughest part is getting started. The next toughest part is continuing after the second time. Another challenging is not beating myself--for not doing it all the time OR not being in better shape OR not doing it better. {You get the idea.}
Will you join me? Will you just get out there and move?
