The Daily Shine

As our needs change, so should our self-care. Today we're taking stock of our self-care practices and setting the intention to move forward with what serves us best. Grab your journal!
Takeaways:
1- We can have what feels like a catalog of self-care practices.
2- We use some more than others or we even outgrow them if they no longer serve us.
3- Do your current practices support your needs? Audit your routine and make updates to works best for you.

Mantra: I will support my needs as they change.

Happy World Mental Health Day! In this special weekend Daily Shine, we're honoring our wellbeing and community with a special loving-kindness meditation. Be sure to share this meditation with someone special—listen and care for your mental health together.
Takeaways:
1- Caring for our mental health is a very personal journey, but it's not one that you have to navigate alone.
2- The more open we are about our wellbeing the more self-compassion and empathy we build.
3- Your love and kindness are expansive—even when you feel alone, you are connected to the people you care about and the entire world around you.
