The art of dealing with the unexpected while taking self care is a lifelong, uneven dance. Sometimes it flows effortlessly without the mind or distractions getting in the way of maintaining a regular self care practice. Other times, simply stopping for a moment to pause and quiet the mind is a full out challenge, or impossible. On the latest episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about dealing with the unexpected while taking self care. I offer practical tips and insights to provide perspective and encouragement, and share simple ways to shift mindset and focus to tune out the “noise” and get down to what the heart really wants you to know. Lastly, I discuss the importance of noting and tracking your personal triggers and indicators that let you know when self care is critical, and what you need to feel better.
