#recommendedread – Adopting A Self-Care Mindset That Will Stick

What comes to mind when you think about self-care? Do you associate self-care with being selfish? Or do you see the benefits, but feel you’re coming up short in sticking with your own plan? Perhaps you find yourself wishing: “If I could just stick with a regular self-care practice, then everything would feel right in my world.”
Whatever comes up for you when you think about self-care, imagine what it might be like to realize you already have a solid self-care practice – you just have to recognize it. What I am talking about is shifting the way you think about self-care to appreciate yourself for everything you ARE doing on a regular basis.
Often what is missing in our self-care practice is self-awareness. When we grow our awareness of everything we already do, we begin to appreciate the gifts we regularly give ourselves.
Here are 3 easy tricks to help you adopt a self-care mindset that will stick:

20 Signs It’s Time To Let Go & Move On

Life is a balance of holding on and letting go. We strive to make the right choice but how do we know when it is truly time to let go and move on? Romantic relationships, jobs, even places we live have an expiration date. Sometimes we hold on to things that aren’t working out of fear we won’t find something better. Perhaps our greatest fear is the unknown, which is why so many of us grasp, hold on and manipulate our situations trying to control our surroundings. But the outcome is always the same: more pain, immense frustration and ginormous guilt and blame.

How ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ Went From Box Office Dud to Accidental Christmas Tradition

Director Frank Capra’s 1946 classic It’s a Wonderful Life is sacred in the holiday movie pantheon. It’s not as quotable as A Christmas Story (1983) or as lyrical as 1966’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, but the story of George Bailey has a universal message behind it that endures 70 years later. Though the movie is the quintessential Christmas tale today, when it was first released in 1946, audiences and critics were lukewarm toward the picture, resulting in a box office disappointment that killed Capra’s nascent production company, Liberty Films. In a strange twist, decades after it was first released, an unlikely clerical screw-up managed to turn It’s a Wonderful Life into the Christmastime staple we know today.
