Self-Care. It's different for everyone...and

...IT SHIFTS. As we shift, grow, or pause our needs shift. And our self-care needs shift too.

Here in Colorado the cool weather is starting to creep into the last little bit of summer. This morning was the first morning in awhile that I needed to grab my gloves and hat to stay warm on my run. Self-care routines are a little bit like the wardrobe shift the fall weather brings.  Here in Colorado we start carrying a jacket in the car, grabbing gloves in the morning, drinking warm lattes instead of iced. 

How do you notice that your self-care routine could use a check up? 

In Dynamic Emotional Integration® we take a look at our Elemental Balance. Yup. Checking in with our elements:

• earth (kinesthetic intelligence)
• air (our intellectual intelligence)
• water (emotional and artistic intelligence)
• fire (imagination and spirituality)
• nature (all of our elements balanced)

helps us dive a little deeper into our soul secrets.

It isn't a step by step process. And I can't tell you exactly what to do, but I can tell you is when we engage with our emotions and understand the messages in them we can look at our current situation(s) with a deep, primal intelligence that is always helping us. And when we welcome in all of our intelligences we can make whole, resourced, and balanced movement in our lives.
