Thoughts, feelings and behaviors become permanent Fixtures in our lives if we give them time to settle.
Removing or adding a body/mind Fixture sometimes requires hammer and nail work to the psyche.
Self Care is probably the most structurally critical, life affirming, aesthetically enhancing Fixture we can incorporate into our lives.
Most of us know the following reasons for Self Care – but occasional reminders help:
- If a Caregiver, whether it be to parents, spouse, children or siblings…Time for oneself is ESSENTIAL in order to replenish and restore our ability to serve our loved one(s) and to remind ourselves that we are of equal human value.
- If a parent or grandparent…Our Self Care sets the Fixture standard for children and young adults in the family. Ultimately they’ll respect what we do, not what we say. Yet to the extent possible – we want to be around to share family stories, foibles and successes – the lore to which they can aspire or avoid!
- If a community leader or neighbor…Self Care is about being a light, an inspiration to someone who struggles with addictions, depression, anxiety. Perhaps seeing us gives the person hope…”If that person lives in joy, maybe I can too.”
- For ourselves...Self Care is the extraordinary, exquisite feel good Fixture. The little dashes of discipline that shore it up give us strength and resiliency.
Functioning Fixtures give us a welcome-to-live-in house. Self Care opens the wide inner home of ourselves to the world. WF
