Are you in tune with what you need for renewal and self-care? We need different things at different times. Sometimes you need quiet, and other times you need to get active. It is important to know your inner and outer rhythms and develop a tool kit of renewal and self-care resources. Here are a few for your toolbox:
1. Quiet time and conversation with God
2. Time for your other relationships
3 Naps (what a lovely gift to yourself!)
4. Workshops and retreats
5. Books
6. Art
7. Exercise
8. Sleep
9. Good food
10. Sabbath time
This list can get you started, but there are many other opportunities for renewal. Find what works for you and make space in your life for it.
