Day 3: Celebrations & Gratitude
Hello! Here you are doing it! Here we are for Day 3, the finish line and it's one to relish in.
​
As usual, check out the video for your introduction, followed by a short practice.
​
Our final tool for doing self care that actually nourishes you is the place where you get to sink into that soft, juicy relaxation.
We're doing that through celebration, gratitude and sensory pleasure.
​
Celebration releases hormones like oxytocin, endorphins, dopamine and serotonin, which lower the stress hormone cortisol, basically creating the recipe for increased happiness.
​
Gratitude equally encourages positive thinking and boosts our mind. And pleasure is the nervous systems capacity to hold what feels good.
​
These tools help us feel connected to ourselves. We gain the capacity to be with ourselves, to be with sensation, to be with what arises and the way our bodies speak to us and respond to our environments.
Practice
Today your practice is to access more self love, gratitude and pleasure through body awareness.
I've included a short guided practice to support you in this.
​
You can build on the tools of Day 1 (setting the structure: timeframe, space and an intention) and Day 2 (begin with a release exercise) in your practice and add this aspect at the end to feel the nourishment and relaxation that will support you in the rest of your day! Maybe you finish with a celebration or two about your expereince that day!
​
As you move through the guided practice you can simply bring your awareness to your body or bring a gentle loving touch or if you'd like you can use a skin friendly oil to bring even more nourishment to your body. Maybe you try this practice multiple times and try all three, you decide!
​
I hope you can take a moment to celebrate yourself for taking time to practice some self care! Celebrate what you did and any big or small shifts you noticed!
Thank you SO very much for joining me on this journey.
I would love to hear how your experience was and maybe how your relationship to self care changed
Feel free to message me, my door is always open.

Until next time!
