"Be kind to yourself. Listen to yourself. Respect yourself. Listen to your inner truth. You have wisdom. Listen. You are worth it"\xa0 ~ fellow meditator, Kyle \xa0 Do you feel like you've let yourself go these days of pandemic and uncertainty? This week is a chance to get back on track with caring for yourself. When you care for yourself, you have more to give to others. Self-care is a win-win for your mind, body, and spirit. \xa0 This week, I invite you to give yourself some gentle self-care.\xa0 You'll explore a different meditation technique in each episode to give yourself the self-care you may so badly crave these days. \xa0 This is part 1 of a 7-part Self-Care meditation series, episodes 2159-2165. \xa0 THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: You're invited to take part in a Self-Care Quest. Every day this week, do one thing to improve a part of your life that needs attention. As an added bonus, you're encouraged to take a break from news media while you do your Self-Care Quest. \xa0 THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: \xa0 Day 1:\xa0 Self-Care Visualization Day 2: Affirmation "I give to myself so I have more to give to others."
