Never underestimate the importance of self-care, particularly if you
are in a coaching, helping, healing or teaching profession. You expend a
lot of energy being there for others, educating, helping navigate
challenges, and just holding space for them to express themselves.
I love what I do. I'm thankful for the people I work for and with.
It's very rewarding. But, sometimes, I need a break. Sometimes, I need
to not be a coach or a co-worker or an employee or a trainer.
Sometimes, I just need to be Cyndi puttering around the house, getting
my hair done, sipping a margarita with a friend or sleeping in.
Sometimes, I need to stay in my pj's until noon. Sometimes, I need to
be away from anything fitness and health related.
It's all okay and it's all important.
I was starting to feel a little frayed at the ends, and I knew a time
out was in order. So, to that end, I am taking a FOUR DAY WEEKEND.
Starting today, I'll be doing all of the activities described above, and
then some, until Tuesday at noon when I report back for duty. I'm
confident that I'll be energized, inspired, invigorated and refreshed.
How do you practice self-care?
