BBL/DAY 4: SELF-CARE.

#selfcaresunday on a Monday. A Day late and dollar short that about sums up what I sort of thought what Self-Care was- Just a hashtag for “bubble bath” kind of indulgences that were just afterthoughts to REAL care. Not that Bubble baths and indulging at times is a bad thing either.

But, I’m actually learning that Self-Care is way much MORE in Day 4 of Better Body Love.

But, first before we get started. Let’s do a little check-in? How are you feeling right now that we’ve hit DAY 4?

I know going through my BBL Journal and creating these posts with a lot of feelings attached. It’s really allowed the content to sink in deeper and change in my daily thoughts even more. I’m definitely blown away at how my Peace with my body is truly Transforming. But, also realizing more and more the work is just beginning.

Let me just say again, Ashley is awesome. I love today’s Highlight real on Self-Care! And how it has become so Diluted by Advertisers , Businesses and Social Media in the guise to us Their idea of a Lifestyle or Product.

Totally Good Food for Thought on the the next time we scroll IG.

Real Self-Care is more like popping the bubble of Uncomfortable, so you can begin do the Difficult work of Healing like for me making those DR.’s appt. I’ve been putting off.

So, Eventually those “Bubble Baths” will be more enjoyable once the foundational work of Worth, Gratitude and Acceptance are done 😊.

My BBL original Self-Care Notes.

TODAY’S TO-DO:

Creating a list of What Self-Care used to Look like vs What Self-Care looks like now?

And also Ashley’s suggests like any challenge we are doing for BBL right now that we are making sure it’s always coming from a place of LOVE ♥️. Yes!

WHAT SELF-CARE USED TO LOOK LIKE?

A Nice Meal and Drinks. A new Book. Time to Write and take photos. Cleaning my Apt. Walk. Pedicure.

WHAT SELF-CARE LOOKS LIKE NOW?

Making Dr. Appt’s. Drinking Water. Organizing. Walking. Being consistent with Med Taking Daily. Meal Planning. Writing. Books 😊.

Wow. I was so surprised how actually I already approach Self-Care in mindful manner. *Plus, I hate Bubble Baths, I’m a Shower kind of girl anyway:)

And See you back here for tomorrow’s BBL Day 5.

Love, Cynthia.
