Self care for self-preservation

(This is an excerpt from a recent newsletter to my community - if you’d love me in your inbox every week go here to sign up.)

…self care is not an option, guys. When I saw a tarot reader for the first time this past summer she asked what I was doing for self care. I chuckled to myself, puffed up my chest and said, "I'm doing self care right here and I've been at this retreat center for 4 days!" She narrowed her eyes and asked how many other retreats I would be attending this year. The answer was none. She emphasized that 4 out of 365 was not enough and that I needed to get really serious about deep self care. I've taken those words to heart and I think about self care every day of my life now.
