Practicing self-care is essential to me because without it, you end up losing yourself. I have several methods. I have grown accustomed to facials. I started getting them done around three years ago. My aesthetician plays relaxing music, uses beautiful scents, and creates a mood that is so relaxing that I fall asleep. I go every one to two months. I had no idea how wonderful she was until I went to someone else in the beginning. I was with a friend and noticed the glow of her skin, and she gave me her information. I had gone to someone else, and it was not a great experience. I also like caring for houseplants. I have about twenty of them, and they bring me peace. Finally, you should make yourself a priority, and nothing should get in the way of caring for yourself. It gives you the ability to be more effective and purposeful.

Holiday Blues
The holiday blues can start right after Halloween. Everything accelerates with the focus being Christmas. Targeted advertising starts and gives you a feeling of being behind with anxiety creeping into your life. The holiday blues can come from the loss of a loved one, lack of family, finances, and whatever centers your life.
My thinking and feelings become more intense around this time. I lost my mother in 1994 and was the one who found her dead. I did not realize how much she centered our family. After her death, things were never the same. When the holidays came around, I couldn’t wait for them to disappear. Certain songs sent me into a tailspin of tears. How did it get better? It became bearable by honoring her name, remembering how funny she was, and the great food, allowing myself to feel sad without guilt, and also spending time with people that I enjoyed being around.

A School Nurse’s Well-Deserved Day Off
Friday marked the end of the school year for elementary students, bringing a sense of relief to the school nurses who often grapples with a multitude of responsibilities. Eager to embrace the much-needed break, I devoted the day to rejuvenating my spirit. My self-care routine included indulging in a hydrafacial, tidying up my brows, visiting a plant store, and exploring a new boutique for accessories. The day concluded on a delightful note, as my husband and I savored the enchanting Christmas lights display at Dilworth Park. All in all, it was a truly gratifying first day off.
Don’t forget to take care of yourself. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8x1Qgkn/

Lessons
I saw this post on social media and I had to share. It feels great to leave people where they are.
When people act shady, allow them. When people betray your trust, allow them. But never, ever sink to their level. Their choices are a direct reflection of who they are, not who you are. No matter how angry, hurt, or disappointed you may be – do not allow them to make you bitter. Be better. React with love. Sometimes that means retaliating with understanding and compassion; other times it means retaliating with acceptance and sheer silence. Whatever it is, make sure it benefits you as a human being instead of lowering you into a position which you would rather not be in. Normal people dont go around destroying other human beings. Only those who are hurt, lost, and confused cause pain. Don’t be one of them. Just take the lessons and move on gracefully.

Just say No
Don’t feel guilty saying no. You don’t have to be obliged to give a reason unless you want to. When you have multiple things going on in your life, other’s commitments, work, exhaustion, and chronic illness. It becomes too much.🙌🏾
