So come next week this will serve as a useful reminder of all the things I should have done!
1. Getting enough sleep.
2. Listening to my thoughts, even when they are negative; I've worked so hard to abandon negativity that I need to sometimes let it in. It can serve as a warning sign.
3. Snuggling up with my teddy-bear puppy dog.
4. Clearing the decks.
5. Ipad browsing, propped up in bed, pyjamas on by 8.30pm.
6. Gulpfuls of sea air.
7. Curious and interesting ingredients to cook with.
8. Favourite tea cups.
9. Being in the black, financially speaking.
10. Ordering books I don't really need but do really want.
11. Waking in the half-light and knowing there is still time for more sleep.
12. Freshly laundered, twenty-year-old, french ticking sheets that were the first thing I bought when my husband and I set up house together.
13. The right outfit, when it matters.
14. Banishing self-doubt.
15. Following brands that I love. Seeing good design in action.
16. Letting my shoulders drop downwards.
17. My Mum's home-baking.
18. Wine time.
19. The smell of damask rose oil, especially when we're blending it.
20. Homework done, children in bed on time, well-fed: ahead of the game.
21. Doing the tree pose.
22. Seeing the perfect relevant quote on Pinterest.
23. Buying more fruit than we need.
24. Noticing apple blossom for the first time after a long winter.
25. Reminding myself throughout the day to relax the muscles I am tensing.
26. Acting on those heart-aching moments when I miss my oldest friends.
27. Saturday morning; my husband's best bacon and egg toasted sandwich, complete with HP sauce.
28. High heels and a dress, sometimes.
29. Training twice a week, with my friends.
30. Post-training coffee.
31. Professional integrity.
32. Keeping orchids.
33. Morning time, bed-mussed children, nowhere to be, nowhere to go.
34. Keeping myself in check: letting it go, going easy on myself, taking care, slowing down.
35. Remember, remember: Balance. Energy. Time.
How I take care of myself...
