What is your recipe for 'taking care'?
Tuning out, slowing down, and tuning in.
Tuning out the noise and potential chaos ( good and bad ).
Slowing down my movements and being much more intentional about my choices of what I think, ingest, and do throughout the day.
Tuning in to what slowing down has awakened in my body and mind. Sometimes this is a more intense time in my ceramic studio, buckling down on some admin work, a good workout, or softer and slower moments journaling, zoning out looking at the wall, wandering around the neighborhood smelling my neighbors rose bushes :).
It always includes hanging with my two cats, spending extra time infusing love into making the perfect matcha or herbal tea, doing a facial while I wash my hair, and cleaning the house.
