I am not a bath person. I have always viewed bathes as a waste of time actually. Silly, I know! But this morning I had felt like taking a bath and both my son and husband thought they were talking to a complete stranger. This is because I always take a shower and haven't had a bath since I was pregnant over 5 years ago.
I felt that I have been neglecting my body. And it's true. I have. For starters, I haven't had a pedicure in months, and if I'm being honest with you and myself, it may have been last year sometime. I used to put lotion on after every shower or a body spray and that has stopped as well. Today I used a new bar of soap I've been anxious to try and a peppermint sugar scrub I made months ago!
This bath was much needed. My body asked for attention and I listened. While I was basking in the bubbles, I had a quiet little chat with myself. First there were apologies and forgiveness. Then we discussed how we could move forward together, being more mindful of what "self care" really means to ME.
I'm looking forward to this new journey. I'm curious...what does your self care journey look like?
