technique such as the Eisenhower Matrix to assess what is vital vs.
unimportant.
29. Put your phone on airplane mode. Airplane mode stops all calls, texts,
and annoying distractions from interfering with your life. Free yourself
temporarily each day from the mental slavery of perpetually checking your
phone. For example, after 6 pm take a ‘mini holiday’ from your phone until
the next morning.
30. Set yourself small, manageable goals. Set yourself one or two major
things you want to accomplish each day that will bring you a sense of
success or fulfillment. This could be as simple as cooking a nice meal to
as big as writing a chapter in your book. Simply feeling like you’ve
achieved one of your goals is a wonderful feeling that you can experience
daily!
31. Do something outside of your comfort zone. Even if that means going a
new route to work or walking your dog along a new street! Enjoy the
sense of self-confidence and empowerment that comes with knowing you
can do something a bit uncomfortable and different.
32. Set clear boundaries. Stand up for yourself and say “no” even if your
voice shakes. Set clear limits on your time and energy. Safeguarding your
energy is a form of self-care and self respect. Give energy only to that
which you consciously agree to invite into your life.
Self-Care Ideas For the Soul
33. Light a candle and watch the shifting light. Indulge in some relaxation with
a scented candle. Watch the flickering of the light against the wall and
connect with your inner self.
34. Ask for help and guidance. If you’re feeling confused, lost, sad, stressed
or depressed, reach out to someone. Asking for help is a sign of courage
and intelligence. Find a trusted friend, advisor or professional to help you
out.
35. Connect with your soul’s guidance. There are countless ways to interact
with your soul essence. Prayer meditation, visualisation, oracle reading,
and dream work are all fairly simple ways to get back in touch with your
core.
36. Be receptive to beauty. Beauty opens and expands the soul. Beauty can
intoxicate and fill you with awe. Find at least one beautiful thing every day
to enchant you. Nature is an easy and nourishing place to find all things
beautiful and wild.
37. Go on a journey through the mountains and caves of your heart. Befriend,
heal, and nurture the broken child within. Go to the root of your pain and
transform old patterns. This is intense and powerful work!
