The Four of Swords and Temperance…

Mondays can be very difficult! Do you already feel overwhelmed by what this week holds for you? It’s okay to take some time for yourself! In fact, I encourage you to set a relaxed tone for yourself by setting some guidelines and boundaries on your own behalf. If you want to maintain balance and wellness, sometimes you have to fight for it. Try taking a look at your week and scheduling in some nap time or reserving time with a loved one. Think of restorative activities you can plan for yourself - activities that will mindfully connect you to the things in life you love. Unplug that phone for an hour or two if you need to and shut down that computer. Whatever is pending can wait til you are ready. If you start each day with anxiety, you will never work to your full potential anyway - so make yourself a priority! If you want to take a FULL Mental Health Day - DO IT! You are allowed and you deserve it. Emotional balance and wellbeing is a right, not a luxury.

“It all begins with you. If you don’t care for yourself, you will not be strong enough to take care of anything in life.” - Leon Brown
