Caregivers, self-care is important!

You are in for a big treat with today's guest.  I chatted with a life coach and business friend who is passionate about self-care, self-love and the pursuit of growth.  

Today's guest, Amy Linsmeyer, is dedicated to helping women move forward in their personal and entrepreneur journey by encouraging dreams, their authentic self and developing a foundation that supports sustainable growth.   

She share that sometimes you have to let the pieces fall and be ok with it.  You can't do it all.  So when looking at how full your schedule is, determine what is priority.  

Another great piece of advice is - We need to know where we are, before we go where we’re going to go.   Take a step back and assess your situation.  You can't just say I am implementing self-care.  You may be just adding to your overwhelm.  Start with these steps: 

• Write down your mornings for 3 days first before you go to work/clock in
• You’ll start to notice times what and where you can fit in time
• If you can’t find a morning routine, then look at what you are doing in the evening
• Then find something you like and give it a try
• You may have to adjust and change until you can find "your thing"

It all comes down to what we want in life.   Appreciate the importance of you putting yourself first.   It may be a simple walk or sitting and having  your cup of coffee in the morning and journaling.   

The difference between wanting and having is an action.  What are you doing to make it happen?   If you are not making the time you want to do, you basically are setting yourself up for failure.  

Even if you only have 15 minutes - you can journal gratitude or do some stretching. 

If you want to show up for your Loved One, practice gratitude.   You will show up differently.  

It’s even more important to adopt a Morning Routine and self-care.
