Self Care Friday

It’s been a really long week… so tonight is all about Self Care.

Perfecting his blue steel look!

Self care can mean different things, not just to different people but to the same person on different days. For me sometimes self care means taking a night out with your friends, connecting with people you love; sometimes self care is cooking dinner for someone I love; and sometimes it means taking a hot shower, popping open a bottle of Prosecco while popping on a face mask and then curling up for a little Netflix with my fav little furry man.

That’s what tonight called for, I was out of energy to talk to people, cook, or even shake up a cocktail.

It’s so important to acknowledge when you feel like this, and to try to do what you can to refresh. I work long hours, and the possibility of burn out is around the corner all the time, so I try to take time - even just a few hours, and let myself reset.

So I dropped a couple of frozen raspberries and some lemon zest into a glass of Prosecco, pulled a little cheese out of the fridge, rinsed the face mask off my face, curled up on the couch, and put my phone into DND mode.

That’s what I needed to do tonight. So I hope that your having the Friday night you need, what ever version that may be.
