The Four Aspects of Our Lives

There are four major aspects of our lives : physical , emotional , spiritual , and social . It is incumbent to make sure that we fill ourselves with those activities , people , and thoughts that enrich each of those areas .
Self-care is different for each woman . It doesn ’ t have to cost lots of money , or any at all . It does require some time to think about what nourishes each of those areas of your life and then incorporate at least one thing into each day . If finding time is difficult , start with 15 minutes a day . As you begin to see your spark return , add more time . Get bold , plan full days or even weeks of self-care .
Stay in the present moment instead of thinking about the what ifs of the past or future . The only moment we have is now . Make the most of it . Cherish it , all its ups and downs .

Physical :

To help us become even a little bit happy , we need to move ; physically move . It doesn ’ t matter what you do . A simple smile , even at nothing , does wonders to boost the serotonin levels in your bloodstream . Move your body to unstick the grief hiding in your body . Walk , dance , even sing . Listen to your body . What is she telling you to do ?
