Sometimes a new mom can barely schedule solo bathroom time, let alone acupuncture! Kjirsten (one of my childhood dance role models ☺️☺️) posted this almost three years ago. And it has always stuck with me. So here's yet another reminder that self-care comes in all different shapes and sizes, and will change drastically throughout the different seasons of your life. I love working with expecting moms, new moms, and veteran moms. And I know that you have a lot on your plates! Juggling childcare, sick kiddos, pick ups/drop offs/all the activities, we can’t always schedule in acupuncture.. So take a lesson from Kjirsten, steal five minutes to yourself, and create your own spa day 😘😘
Your body needs sleep to recover and repair itself from all that you put it through during the day... I can’t stress enough how important sleep is!! As we’re working our way towards summer and longer days, we tend to need a little less sleep.. BUT this may not apply to you if you’ve a) been running at a sleep deficit for awhile, b) you didn’t take a cue from nature and sleep more this winter, or c) you’re actively recovering from an injury/illness/imbalance/etc. Listen to your body and sleep if you need it! Feel like you’re sleeping a ton and you’re still exhausted during the day (no, I’m not talking to those of you who think 6-7 hours is a lot..)? It might be time to take a closer look at
Can you find beauty in this gray day? I personally love listening to the rain 🌊💦 I'm also very happy for these spring rains to wash away winter and water the flowers 🌷🌸 #gratitude
Self care comes in all shapes and sizes. And acupuncture is definitely also on my list. Regardless of what life is throwing at me, I make sure I make it to my acupuncturist at least once per month (if not more!) for a routine self care tune-up! What are you going to do for YOU this week??
