Care for your Body

“Your body isn’t a project to fix, it's a partner to care for.” ~ @projecthappiness_org

 

About 2 weeks ago, I decided to carry/move FIVE potted Ficus trees from the back of my  car to our front door resulting in painful lower back muscle spasms and pain. Not my best decision and still suffering. #eyeroll

I learned several valuable lessons from that experience:

  1. I am NOT, in fact, superwoman in spite of my regular gym workouts.
  2. My brain seems to think I am still 25, however, my body vehemently disagrees.
  3. Patience is a virtue. It is OK to let your husband do the heavy lifting when he gets home from work. 
  4. My body is NOT a project, however, rather a partner I need to care for or else it will make me pay with pain and much discomfort.

You guessed it… your self-care mission for this week is to be good to yourself and treat your body like you would a best friend, a partner. Keep your expectations realistic and doable. Regular simple self-care is a must!

Take care of your body, it’s the only one you will ever own! ~ Rita Garnto

Hope you have a great week caring for you!

You’ve got this, my friend.
