Weekly Self-Care Guidance 18-24 November 2019

Welcome to this week’s self-care guidance for 18-24 November 2019.
 
Unless your cells have what they need for proper function--nutrients, water, rest, sleep, exercise, play, and connection—some part of your system suffers.
 
You need physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energy to be your best you.
 
Self-care renews these energies and provides the fuel for an effective, resilience, energised wise and meaningful life.
 
Vetiver essential oil is wonderful to turn to when we are in need of assurance.  Sometimes life can seem threatening, with one challenge after another.
 
Vetiver has a wonderful stabilising quality that brings you down to earth and helps you feel supported.
 
We go through phases of growth and rest.  Either phase can feel challenging.  When we’re in a growth phase, we can feel like we’ve bitten off more than we can chew.  When we’re in a resting phase, we can feel bored or lazy and wanting to get moving again.  Sometimes there’s just no pleasing us!
 
When we feel challenged, we look for some way to hold ourselves steady.  Putting a couple of drops of Vetiver in an oil diffuser is a wonderful way to do this.  It helps to increase your endurance and strengthens your heart so it can remain open to what is challenging.
 
The Blossoming Heart Affirmation is: “My heart blossoms with quiet assurance.”
 
This week’s stress management technique is to look at old photos.  A little nostalgia can provide a feeling of euphoria.  It’s a good reliever for those of us who are feeling stressed out.  It’s not just family photos, but photos of local towns and cities that jog our memory and hopefully jog some memories that bring a wonderful smile to your face.

Lots of love,
