HI Margaret:

Oh boy, self-care sure IS an important topic for you with everything on your plate! I’m so happy to hear that you take yoga and have realized that you do more than you thought, AND that you’ve made room for some new ideas. 5 minutes does matter. In fact, it makes a huge difference, especially when you practice it daily, or more.

Thanks for reading and commenting,

Amy

I’m a RN, a Day Shift Supervisor on a busy psychiatric emergency unit in a hospital. Self care is a frequent topic, and this year (we are “Screeners”, licensed in our state to involuntarily bring people to the ER when they refuse, and are a danger to self or others), one of the day long courses for recertification of one’s license was on Self Care. One topic is of course yoga, I go weekly to a class (12 years), but want to do more daily. This is a reminder that 5 minutes matters. Thank you for this article, I’m older, my 3 kids are out of the home, yes, I help with 3 granddaughters, and life still feels chaotic. We all need encouragement for Self Care!

Nicole – Dramatic changes in an instant? Me? I would never want that! Geez, it’s crazy how impatient we can be sometimes. But I also get amazed at how little tiny changes can make a huge difference in the way we feel, like you said. Thanks so much for your wonderful article.

Cheers,
Amy

Thanks for your comment! You’re right, little moments can make a huge difference! So often, we want big, dramatic change in an instant – we underestimate the impact of small, intentional changes.

HI Jodi:

I always love having your input here. I loved the “take a moment” suggestion too! It’s amazing what a little mindful attention to what we are actually doing – what the sensory components of it are, can do for my mood. Like right now, the feeling of my legs in the chair and my feet on the floor, the experience of clicking on the keyboard, the sound of my breath. Geez, I need to slow down more! HA!

What mindful moments have you enjoyed today? And, what are some other great tricks we missed?

Cheers,

Amy

I especially love your suggestions to just take a moment and look at something. Little mindful moments can make such a difference!
