Day 9: When Doing Nothing IS Self-Care


So today the storm clouds were looming in my sinus cavities and crown of my head.  My throat, completely raw.


In terms of re-investing in myself as it pertains to my exercise regime, I knew that I was in no way, shape or form in a place to do hot yoga which was on the docket.  Instead of punishing my body through a grueling hour of 100 degree temps and postures I would most certainly fall out of constantly, I re-invested in myself by doing nothing.  Well... nothing strenuous.  I did do a bit of restorative yoga to help stretch my tight muscles.



I went home and flushed my sinus cavities, drank some emergen-c and went to bed.  I read a little from my book about mindfulness and felt very good about my decisions.  I am after all sick.  No need to kick a body when it is down.


Instead I gave it a bit of a cuddle and will continue to until my cold subsides.

Today's Self Care:

1.  Restorative Yoga
2.  Just said no to strenuous activities
3.  Did not let the opinions and actions of other control me or my emotions.
