It's always the right time to get grateful. After all, gratitude is one of the highest vibrating frequencies we can tune into, which in turn allows our energy to work FOR us.

​Join me for this week's Soul Fitness affirmation session - a quick 10-minute practice to send some intentional energy towards appreciation for all that has been, all that is, and all that will be, because what you pay attention to is what you'll always get more of.

You are welcome to find a comfortable seated position with your eyes closed and repeat the affirmations silently, stand in front of a mirror and make eye contact with yourself as you repeat the affirmations out loud, or just go about your business while listening, letting your subconscious retain the messages meant for you. If anything doesn't feel aligned for you, you can simply bless and release it before moving on.

It's all happening now, and it all starts here.

As someone who has experienced both the joy of beautiful, long-lasting friendships and the sharp edge of outgrown dynamics, I have a deep appreciation for attracting positive relationships into my life.  Add to that the strangeness of moving to a new city in a new state in a new area of the country during a pandemic, when meeting and socializing new people is highly regarded as a Very Bad Idea, and that appreciation grows tenfold.

​Today, I invite you to join me for a quick affirmation session to practice vibrating at the energetic frequency of attracting - and being - a wonderful friend.

You are welcome to find a comfortable seated position with your eyes closed and repeat the affirmations silently, stand in front of a mirror and make eye contact with yourself as you repeat the affirmations out loud, or just go about your business while listening, letting your subconscious retain the messages meant for you. If anything doesn't feel aligned for you, you can simply bless and release it before moving on.

What a month! 

As Self-Care September draws to a close, my sincere hope is you feel equipped to move forward through the rest of this year (and beyond) with ideas of practices you can turn into habits that help you feel cared for on a daily basis.

You deserve that - to be diligently and consistently cared for by your very own self in simple, loving ways.

And you deserve to rest. In fact, resting is a fundamental cornerstone of being healthy in body, mind and spirit, and something I encourage you to do more often. 

Starting today. Today, our final self-care suggestion is to rest and reflect on all the possible tiny adjustments you could make to enhance your overall quality of life. 

As you rest, contemplate everything we've talked about this month. Check in with yourself around which self-care tips feel right for you to work with during these last three months of the year.

Remember, small hinges swing big doors.

• Are you willing to pause more often and breathe in through your nose, down to your belly, exhaling fully and completely?
• Can you go to bed a little earlier?
• Are you willing to practice gratitude despite a challenging situation?
• Are you willing to look for reasons to laugh?
• Can you make it a point to lovingly reach out to a friend, an acquaintance, or a neighbor each week?
• Can you donate your time, spare change, or gently-used household items to brighten someone else's day?
• Can you listen to your favorite music and dance?
• Are you willing to write yourself a love list or tell yourself "You're gorgeous" when you look in the mirror?
• Can you keep a glass of water close by? 
• Can you add some more color to your meals?
• Are you willing to stretch your body?
• Can you take a break? Take a walk? Visualize an ideal outcome?
• Can you sweat, visit the seaside, or indulge in a cleansing cry?
• Are you ready to hit "unfollow" on that one account that just isn't doing your mental health any favors?
• Can you be mindful of using words that properly articulate what you mean and convey what you want?
• Are you willing to take the extra step and put stuff back where it belongs?
• Can you give yourself credit for doing your best?

Just think about it today.

Not all suggestions need to be taken. Not all actions make sense for all lives. This month hasn't been about doing self-care "right," it's been about recognizing how many different ways there are to love, respect, and yes, care for ourselves.

Some of the ideas we talked about this month might feel so easy, like "how have I not tried that before?" and some may feel the opposite, giving you a strong "as if" reaction. 

Either way, it's okay. Because you are the boss of you, the captain of your ship, the master of your health, the decider of your fate. 
​
As they say, I'm not here to teach you, I'm here to love you. Love will teach you.

Self-Care September Day 30: Rest and Reflect

That's it, that's all. Just rest and reflect.

And if you decide to invest in yourself by hiring a coach to help you strengthen your health, empower your mindset, and organize your life, please keep me in mind!

Thanks for following along with this year's Self-Care September! 
​I love you and will see you soon!

Self-Care September Day 29: Nurture Your Green Thumb

Pick a plant to welcome into your home. Love it and it will love you back.
​
I love you and will see you soon!

Coach Alex

From the beginning of time, human beings have counted on one another for survival. Feeling supported, valued and connected helps us thrive, which makes reaching out to others an important act of self-care.

Building a quality connection is key here, which happens in a number of ways, including when we exchange concrete help, offer emotional support, provide validation, give advice, and/or present perspective for one another. 

Research points to a number of benefits to creating and nurturing these types of interactions, such as:

• Increased happiness
• Better health 
• A longer life
• Stronger resiliency
• Lower levels of anxiety and depression

All of this is encouraging news because caring involvement with others may be one of the easiest self-care strategies to access. It's inexpensive, it requires no special equipment or regimen, and we can engage in it in many ways.

Self-Care September Day 28: Reach Out to Someone You Love
 
Today, you're encouraged to call, text, or send snail mail to someone in your life, near or far. (You can even send a card or letter to someone living in your house with you!)

You can reach out just to say hi, or tell them that you're thinking of them. You can thank them for making a positive difference in your life, wish them a happy day, send them luck for something happening in their life, tell them you love them, or let them know why they matter to you.

If you're not one for so many words, that's okay, too - you can simply share a funny meme, or take and send a picture of something that reminds you of them. 

​The point is just to connect. You'll both be better for it. 

I love you and will see you soon!
