Feel good, 7/24 #InternationalSelfCareDay

International Self-Care Day

Today is International Self-Care Day! I feel good about the progress I’ve made since March 2018, so I thought it the perfect time to update the ‘Blogging Honestly’ section of my blog.

After writing about my own struggles with mobility issues in March 2018, I started swimming regularly (from 3-6 days a week) and using a stationary bike as often as I can. I see a wonderful RMT to receive massage therapy once a week.

As I continue to recover from a hip injury, I’ve realized that there really is more to happiness and self-care than moving (“working out” is still too generous a term for the exercise I do at this point) and living without pain. In my opinion, self-care must include: mindfulness, meditation and/or taking a few minutes to yourself for self-reflection. (Reading a good book is one of my favourite ‘self-care’ activities.)

As a goal-oriented person, ‘self-care’ means working towards achieving my business and personal goals, as well. Fortunately, my business as a freelance writer and other writing projects (aside from my blog, I am an aspiring novelist) are going very well.

After about one month of eating almost whatever I want, I am back to focusing on my diet (with the exception of this break, I’ve been following the keto diet since November 2017).

It’s been quite a journey, but at long last, I feel that I am on the right track in many of the most important aspects of life. (If you feel like you’re in a bit of a slump, I urge you to continue taking small steps towards your personal goals for self-care, and celebrate your victories- even if minute- along the way.)

This year’s theme is: ‘Feel Good 7/24’

According to the ISF (International Self-Care Foundation), Self-Care Day is observed every July 24th (7/24) to symbolize the importance taking care of yourself, 24/7.

Whatever your lifestyle, age and physical abilities, I hope that you’ll take a few minutes to assess how you care for yourself in order to feel good. It’s a journey and it takes effort, but man, is it worth it!

Give your life the green light. It’s A Go!
