“Just start. Start slow if you have to. Start small if you have to. Start privately if you have to. Just start.”

~ James Clear, Author of Atomic Habits

Here we are in the second week of January. I can not even count all my resolutions that have fallen by the wayside this time every year for the last many, many years! Yikes!!

Surprise, surprise… making resolutions DOES NOT work and that is why I love this quote by James Clear, author of Atomic Habits (great read by the way). 

Do something for self-care and it really doesn’t matter what… the most important thing is to JUST START! Here are some simple self-care ideas to start with. Pick ONE or find one of your own:

> Get out of bed the right way…  roll to your side and push yourself up to a seated position before you get out of bed (reduces neck & back strain).

> Read a Bible verse first thing in the morning (this is one I have just started).

> Read 10 minutes of non-fiction a day to learn something new every day

> Jot down a few thoughts in your journal 

> Add 100 extra steps of walking per day

> Write an inspiring quote on your mirror and read it aloud every day

Your self-care mission this week is to just START one healthy, self-care habit.

Simple, right?! 

Here’s to a fabulous self-care filled 2023! 

Big Hugs,  Rita 🙂
