Your future self is who you want to be and who you can be. If you want to be happier, be happier, if you want to be fitter, be fitter. If you want to be content, be content. What can I do today my future self will thank me for?
You can use journaling to explore these ideas.
“Do not put off until tomorrow, what you can do today”
By Little Miss Self-care
Yes I know that it can be hard at times to find the motivation to do anything, but if we keep it simple it really does work. This can be as simple as:
- Doing the dishes the night before. Imagine you wake up in the morning and your kitchen is already clean.
- A washing a day, keeps the washings at bay. Have your machine filled and ready to turn on in the morning, or the night before.
- Prepare the night before for the day ahead, this could mean painting your nails, washing your hair, getting the kids organised for school, sitting out your outfit and jewellery for the next day. Anything you can do that will make you next day flow easier.
- Be present in the moment. To be fully present in the moment we need to let go of yesterday and tomorrow. Try guided meditations, eft tapping or reiki practice.
- Treat yourself – Self-care really can be a treat. Try new hobbies, read new books, go for a relaxing walk, get out in nature to the beach or forest. Try a new form of exercise, yoga, qi gong, or swimming. Go for a massage or a reiki session. Practice deep breathing or meditation.
