6 Ways to Uplevel Your Self-Care

I’m not a morning person.

I’m not a night-owl either.

I’m actually BOTH!

I love the energy of the late night quiet hours where everything around me starts to quiet down and my body is ready to rest.

I love that dark, mysterious element of the night time witching hour where I feel connected to my dreams and to my inner world. I love standing in the moonlight and the starlight to feel the immense power of my ancestors.

I also adore the early morning energy of renewal and opportunity of a new day.

I love the early song-birds and the smells of the earth as it awakens to the morning chill.

I love both.

I have rituals for my night time hours that help me to tap into that mysterious magic of the darkness. And I have rituals for my Magic Mornings where I ignite my inner pilot light with movement, set my intention for the day to come with my morning Self-Care pages and connect with divine guidance.

Even when I’m traveling with my family, I love waking up early while everyone is still sleeping, make myself a big mug of lemon water, find a quiet spot outside, listen to bird-song and take in the sunshine. I write in my Magic Morning journal, do some simple stretching and movement and maybe even go for a long walk. I simply enjoy nature and take the time to get present and connect to divine.

Taking this daily pause to listen in the morning allows me to be more present, more playful, more intuitive, more giving to others

What about when things are really BUSY?
