Create your own mini retreat by choosing multiple activities, designating some time, and giving yourself the gift of your own kind attention. You can plan a mini retreat once a month to intentionally set aside time to rest and renew.

Choosing to give yourself permission to rest and renew is a revolutionary act of love and compassion for yourself. Deepen the impact by tuning into how you feel after resting and notice the difference a short period of renewal can make in how you feel about your life. Cultivating more peace and joy through these self-nurturing practices will allow you to show up with more love, intention, and compassion in your life and all your relationships will benefit, especially your relationship with yourself. Being intentional about resting will allow you to refill your inner well and invest in your well-being in a healing and transformative way.
