We are living in a very complex world right now and it is extremely important that we take the time to look after ourselves. We all know that we are no good to anyone else if our cups are running on empty. I will continually look for new ideas and ways to help all of us recharge. I have to consciously take the time to work on self-care as well. It can be more structured and organized or it can simply be 10 minutes sitting in my car with my eyes closed if that is all the time I have at that moment. We all need support to keep going.
Remember to schedule time for yourself! If you actually put it on your schedule you are more likely to do. We find it so easy to skip out on things that are good for us in order to do something else. Try not to break promises to yourself!

CHALLENGE: Make a JOY List!
When was the last time you actually took the time to sit down and make a list of things that bring you total joy and contentment? Or even THOUGHT about it? Rachel Hollis posed this idea on her blog. We’re moving so fast in life that we don’t have time to single out the simple things in life just because they make us happy or spark some joy. It doesn't have to make sense to anyone else but you! I listed my top ten things below that bring me JOY. I challenge you to do the same!!!

5 // Photo albums. I have old photo albums that I adore and cherish. They bring me so much joy when I look at them and remind me how I desperately need to get better at creating photo albums in this age of digital where no photos get printed anymore. It is forever on my list of things to do. Create more recent photo albums.
