What Are Ya Gonna Do?
Sometimes, after my sweetheart has been away for a few days and she comes home, I make sure the bed is made and there are no dirty dishes in the kitchen sink. Sometimes I even fix her dinner to welcome her home. Let’s be very clear about this, that does not mean the dishwasher is empty…
Here’s a little something I picked up at the Senior Center. It’s a self-care checklist. Not a bad thing. I’ve modified it a bit to suit my lifestyle, but other than that, here it is.
- Meditate
- Exercise
- Drink Water (6 glasses)
- Journal (or write, depending on how you look at it)
- Perform a Service
- Each Healthy
- Read
- Connect With Others
Not a bad list. Doing these things every day goes a long way toward a happy and healthy life. You will notice that one of these is not “self-care” strictly speaking. Performing a Service is very important to leading a fulfilling life. I will admit, I’m a bit shy in this department. To correct that, I sent an email to my local Elementary School asking if I could be a Classroom Assistant. I’m waiting to hear back.
