Do you feel that your “best self” struggles to keep up with life’s challenges?

Here are some basic principles to help you be your “best self” even when life throws you a curveball.

Be Still – Live in the present moment. Be intentional and quiet your mind.

Excellent – Strive for excellence, not perfection. You’re good enough as you are right now.

Sufficient – Accept yourself and life as it is. The good and the bad are all part of life.

Thankful – Have a mindset of abundance and gratitude. The more you give the more you overflow.

 

Spiritual – Connect with your God in a progressively deeper level. You are not alone.  

Enthusiastic – Celebrate your small and big accomplishments. Honor your ups and downs.

Loving – Reach out to the love flowing at your core. Your essence is pure love. Love always wins.

Forgiving – Reframe the situation with compassion for yourself and others. Free yourself.

 

Here are 5-minute or less small habits with big impact:

• Say no. When you say no to things that aren’t your priorities, you’re saying yes to things that matter the most to you.
• Let people around you share your tasks.
• Ask for help and accept it when it is offered.
• Create something, draw, paint, color.
• Give yourself a high five in the mirror. Dance, be silly for 60 seconds.
• Nurture your relationships – Call, text, write a letter.
• Say hi to a stranger.
• Move your body daily, go outside and breathe fresh air.

 Boost your energy with good nutrition, hydration, play, and rest.

Take care of yourself. Self-care is not selfish – You can’t give what you don’t have.

I’m here for you.
