Self-care for the week

Do you remember the hashtag #throwbackthursday? It was huge several years ago, when everybody were posting old photos of themselves together with the tag. In the vicinity of these years, I thought it would be fun to use an alliteration for the rest of the days of the week too, but for self-care and lifecoaching purposes. Since I haven’t been able to sit down in my own apartment and be creative for many years, it has taken me until now to pursue this idea, but here it is! Having a theme for the day, can both be helpful when it comes to better take good care of ourselves, and be a focus for posting something on social media. So, please spread and use as much as you’d like!

What is a reward you’ll feel, or can give yourself, after doing what you want to do?

To increase our motivation, we need inspiration and focus. By thinking about why you need to do something; defining a purpose, it might feel easier to. You might treat yourself to something special or simply enjoy a sense of accomplishment and fulfilment.

#thoughtfultuesday

What is a kind thing to say or do for someone else today?

#thankfulthursday

What are you grateful for today, or this week?

By listing what we’re grateful for, both big and small, both for things we have, what we’ve experienced, and what we’ve been on the receiving end of by others in our interactions, we can increase a feeling of content and happiness, and attract more of the same.

#freedomfriday

Let your hair down, dance around, go for a ride on a bike or a horse, or even in your car through nature, can help you feel free. It can also be to write without censoring yourself in a journal, and explore all your opinions, values, dreams and ideas.

#sustainabilitysaturday

What can you change on your shoppinglist today?

We all like nice, new, shiny things, but do we need it all, or can we buy different kinds that are better for both our own health, as well as our planet? To live more sustainable, choose both things that last longer (its original meaning) and is eco-friendly and with biological ingredients, whenever possible. You might also opt for vintage or swop clothes with friends and neighbors, as well as think of using renewable sources of energy in your home and office.

This day of the week, has always been earmarked for a day of rest and spiritual nourishment. Whether you prefer to attend church, read the Bible at home or chant a Buddhist prayer, what is something you can do today to reflect on your being and how to improve? It might also be a day for you to spend some time in solitude and serenity, as well as plan for the week ahead.
