Self-care Muse…

A beautiful creek nestled between tall trees in Tacoma Washington, it was truly majestic.

In the realm of self-care, I find my retreat, a sanctuary where my soul finds its beat.

A gentle reminder to tend to my needs, to nourish my spirit, to let it be freed.

I start with a moment, a pause in my day, to breathe in the calm, let worries drift away.

Inhaling the peace, exhaling the stress, creating space for my mind to find rest.

I listen to my body, its whispers and cues, honoring its limits, refusing to abuse.

I nourish with kindness, with wholesome delight, feeding it with love, each day and each night.

I bathe in self-love, a warm, soothing embrace, letting go of judgment, accepting my grace.

With sunlight aglow, casting a soft, gentle light, I surrender to stillness, embracing with such delight.

I move with intention, in rhythm and flow, dancing away worries, letting my spirit grow.

Expressing my emotions through graceful motion, releasing the tension, embracing the notion.

I seek solace in nature, its beauty and peace, walking in forests, where worries find release.

The whispering trees, the song of the birds, nature’s healing power, beyond any words.

I indulge in moments of pure, simple pleasure, reading a book, savoring each word and measure.

Escaping reality, entering new realms, where imagination soars and the heart overwhelms.

I surround myself with love, with cherished souls, creating connections that make me feel whole.

Sharing laughter and tears, in moments so rare, knowing that love is the ultimate self-care.

Self-care is a journey, a lifelong embrace, a commitment to oneself, a sacred space.

For in nurturing my soul, I find the key, to unlock the door to a life that’s carefree.

    Very beautifully written from the heart, Denise. Reading this it is a reminder how much I need to slow down. I won’t be good to anyone if I do not practice self care.
    I do spend time in nature, but also so important to find those moments to let go. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
