Porky the Elf joins me in some serious #selfcare today! In an effort to stay sane on these cold days and fully present for all the little people and things I need to. I made sure to put the effort in and carve out some me time. Even if there is a tiny dancer here with me on the bed, this is my 30 minutes of uninterrupted time that I can revel in how good it feels to move my body, dance a little, and get a good sweat on! What are some of the ways you can practice self care o...n this Friday ? I love to hear it! @onepeloton @codyrigsby #thetwinsnamedtheelf #dont@me #selfcare #peloton #codyrigsby #ahimsasadvice #mentalhealthcheck #mentalhealthcheckin #covid #takecareofyourself #pleasantvilleny #pleasantville #anxietysupport #anxietyhelp #depressionsupport #intrusivethoughts #depressionhelp #westchestertherapy #therapymemes #therapymeme

Ordinarily - I LOVE a good snow day, everything is gorgeous and silent and a free pass to hang around and have a lot of hot chocolate! Today seems a little different, I have struggled during the pandemic with not having a clear boundary between work/home/activities/school and feeling the need to always be accomplishing something. Today it feels like another day where I need to outperform yesterday. This is a reminder for me, you and anyone who needs it. You are allowed to hav...e downtime, you NEED downtime. It’s an important part of you being able to get *all the things* done or to try. Giving ourselves downtime improves performance, can improve mental and physical health by giving yourself a chance to recover. Today may be a wonderful opportunity to relax, lower your expectations and do something that feels good. Take a walk in the snow, watch some Netflix, catch up on your reading or sleep! #ahimsasadvice #snowday #snowday #pandemicliving #restday #giveyourselftime #mentalhealthcheck #mentalhealthcheckin #corona #covid_19 #takecareofyourself #pleasantvilleny #pleasantville #anxietysupport #anxietyhelp #depressionsupport #intrusivethoughts #depressionhelp #westchestertherapy #therapymemes #therapymeme

In keeping on theme of self care - trying to check in with myself gets increasingly more amusing and interesting, as these guys become more involved in doing big people things... Today we all journaled together. I got approximately nothing completed but learned all about their ideas of what goes into a journal. These were the top items: Best part of their day, electricity and all the words/letters they see in front of them. 4 yr olds have some hilarious and very big opinions.... We all check in at night about our favorite parts of the day so I was that it’s something they wanted to do in their own journals. Having this dedicated space for myself in another gesture of self care has been instrumental lately in helping me stay focused on goals and to do lists. As well as giving me the space to plan future forward without getting overwhelmed. (A huge bonus during this ongoing crazy time) Benefits of journaling can be: Setting and achieving goals Self reflection Inspire creativity Relieve stress Keeping your thoughts organized If you already journal - I’d love to hear about your favorite ways to create this space for yourself and how you journal! Writing, electronic, bullet journals, notes in your phone? They all sound awesome, if it’s something you’ve been thinking about ... there is literally no time like right now. #ahimsasadvice #hellodecember #journaling #journals #silkandsonder #mentalhealthcheck #wellness #selfcare #mentalhealthcheckin #takecareofyourself #pleasantvilleny #pleasantville #anxietysupport #anxietyhelp #depressionsupport #intrusivethoughts #depressionsupport #westchestertherapy #therapymemes #therapymeme
