Self Care, Self Love Practice For Feb

 

1/31/22

Once again we come to an end

An end and a beginning all the same

January is almost done walking

This earth but February is yet to come

January started with a New Year’s

Resolution not to be perfect, not perfect

A success, A success, A success

I was not perfect this month. Full Marks

February we add #Selfcare, #Selflove

Since February is the month of Love

Loving absolutely every bit of ourselves

So our Love pours out and covers others

What is #Selfcare, #Selflove varies

For some it is savoring what is present

For some it making “someday” today

For some it is acting, jumping into the new

Once again we come to an end

An end and a beginning all the same

January is almost done walking

This earth but February is yet to come

I have to admit that while February has the fewest number of days it tends to feel like the longest month to me. I have recently come across a practice that Wentworth Miller did 5-7 years ago where he would post a #carechronical showing what he did for #selfcare every day for a month. I have decided I am bringing his #carechronical practice back for this Feb. 

So starting tomorrow I plan to post each day on my Instagram (and possibly other social media as well) about what I did for self care and I welcome everyone to join along with me. Somedays it will be "big" things and other times "tiny" things that others might not even know why they matter to me. 

If you are someone who hears self care and does not think it applies to you, or who has a strong negative reaction I would suggest to think about the below quote where Wentworth explores why he thought some people seemed so hostile to him talking about self-care and him having a self care chronical 

Self-worth (04.01.17 (Scridb))

... If I don’t think I’m worth it .. if at some point in my life I was told and then believed I wasn’t worth the time, care, and attention, anyone’s time, care, and attention .. if someone comes along and suggests I take care of myself it’s going to trigger me. My response will be a) “I’m not worth it.” and B) “F-ck you for reminding me of that fact.”

To engage in a self-care practice is to declare, ”I am worth taking care of.” (see: radical acts)

Self-care isn’t just tweaking my daily-routine. “3 deep breaths when I need them.” That’s on the surface. What’s beneath the surface is this: “I am choosing to care about myself. Enough to give me what I need to continue vibrating at my highest frequency. So I can do and give my best. Every day.”

Practicing self-care necessitates a closer look at how I perceive both my self and my value. It demands an internal, possibly uncomfortable conversation about self-worth, self-love, and whether I do or don’t give a sh-t about my continued existence in this harsh world.

That’s heavy stuff. Potentially. Eliciting heavy responses. Potentially. ...

So come join me in filling February with #carechronicle #walkingwithwentworth #selfcare #selflove #February You are worth caring about !!!!
