self- care time

I’ve been so busy the last two weeks it’s ridiculous. It’s midterm season and I’ve just had a lot of homework and essays to do. My self- care has really been lacking because of it. I’ve realized how important sleep is (after I finish this, I’m going to bed). Sleeping and drinking enough water are crucial to taking care of yourself. I went to yoga today, for the first time all week and it was amazing. I enjoyed just having that time just for me. I’ve realized that with homework and other commitments, I’ve got to make sure that I’m taking care of me. My roommate is gone for the weekend and it’s my first time being alone in a while, which is nice but different. I’m learning yet again to love my space and my self. One of my biggest things lately is letting go and trusting the process. I understand that I’m at the perfect spot for me and that I need to make little changes to be better. Like when I started did my rough draft for my paper two days before it was due, then met with my professor to discuss it and then did the edits. Things like that are making my life so much easier. I just need to make sure that while I’m managing my school work better, I’m managing my Mayah time better. Be one with yourself and learn to enjoy just sitting. Try being still for ten minutes- without your phone. Just be in the moment. Enjoy the detox. Get some rest. Drink some water.
