Day 1 ~ I LOVE ME Challenge

In creating this challenge, I knew that I was starting it on a day that was going to be very difficult and emotionally charged. But as I said in one of my last posts, "Every excuse we have for why we don't have time to take care of ourselves, are the exact reasons why we need to!".

Bravest and strongest bubba in the whole wide world.

Knowing the physical and emotional challenges that were coming today, I took a bit of time before leaving for the hospital to stretch my back and shoulders...many of the stretches happening in the hot shower. Then I sat quietly in meditation to calm myself and collect my thoughts. I knew panic in me would be felt as I carried my bubba, so starting as calm as possible was imperative!

I am now heading to my rolled out mat for a longer restorative practice...these tired muscles need a good stretch and this overactive brain needs some *shush~shush~shush~ing*.

How about you? What little pocket of time did you carve out?
