EP 11 Self Care Architect Series, Introduction

January's new beginnings, nourished by rest, reflection, and my annual tradition of choosing a Word Of The Year. This year my chosen word is NOURISHMENT. This episode reflects on what worked and what did not last year and how moving ourselves forward one step at a time is the most sustainable self care practice and way of creating true change.

Have the necessary conversations or communications

Leave some space around an event, less rushing

Simplify the gift-giving

Spread out the holidays to a season not a particular day

Think back to how you really want to feel through the holidays but more importantly throughout your life.

Nature is a wise teacher, in subtle and raucous ways. In this mini listen we explore how nature can be a teacher and inspiration throughout the year. How the seasons come and go is a reflection of our own lives. Tending and mending, resting and reaping, sowing and harvesting, as nature intended it to be. Look for subtle clues and shifts or more dramatic changes for inspiration. Is it time to rest and rejuvenate or set out in the world, seeds scattered eventually ready to burst with life?

Welcome to the Self Care Passport Podcast and the Habitude series. Hello, I’m Janae your host and this series is about habits we would like to establish and the attitudes that go along with them. Short bite-size easy to listen to episodes that help you make shifts and changes that feel right for your daily life and beyond.

Today's episode focuses on our 5 senses, Sight (Vision) Hearing (Auditory) Smell (Olfactory) Taste (Gustatory) Touch (Tactile) All our knowledge begins with the senses. Engaging with our senses can become a tool to bring us closer to the present moment, and calm our thoughts and actions that tend to our nervous system.

Activating the simple 5 step process of taking note of what all our senses are telling us in the moment, brings awareness to our body and the felt sense of connection. Paying attention to what our body has right there before us is a gift that we can access at any time. Learning to heed your senses leads to having a new relationship or attitude with a simplistic but powerful method, bringing us awareness of ourselves and our bodies (Body-Mind Connection)

Welcome to the Self Care Passport Podcast and the Habitude Series. In this episode, we talk about habits and attitudes coming together, changing our lives one step at a time.

Today's episode is about becoming aware of our natural tendencies, in Mind, Body & Soul, how we hold ourselves in habit and attitude, expressed and released through our bodies.

“Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh 

Can we change patterns with awareness and adjusting the body? Yes, we can. The first step is awareness then lead yourself to your desired change from there. Taking your body along as your guide and helper.

Each day is a little different when we think about hydration. Every day is a good day to make sure we are taking care of what our bodies need. Some days a few glasses are easy and some days it just isn't quite enough.

“In time and with water, everything changes.” ~ Leonardo da Vinci

In this episode I talk about ways to increase hydration and maintain that feeling. My biggest tip is to place opportunities wherever you go, after that you can add flavor, freshly squeezed lemon, electrolytes, and more. There is also the tip of staying away from things that dehydrate us. I'm not talking about exercise here, where we sweat it out but rather avoiding accessive alcohol, and diuretics such as coffee. Listen in to learn more.

There are formulas for how much you should drink. I personally can feel it in my body and gauge a day by how I digest and process the water. Our body gives us all the clues.

Your weight is one variable that changes the amount of water you should be drinking. To help you establish a baseline, you can use the following rule-of-thumb equation described in U.S. News & World Report. In short, the equation tells you to take half your body weight and drink that amount in ounces of water.

“We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.” ~ Thomas Fuller

In this next series, I will be talking about habits that I personally have come to establish or are in the process of establishing. Some take a little longer to get into routine. I took a look and a feel into my conditioned tendencies.

Habits come naturally, be it for your benefit or against the truth in those patterns can be so helpful in fortifying or inching your way to meet your demise. if you want you can put those into categories of good and bad but really they are clues to what lies ahead if you are willing to call yourself out or congratulate yourself on an easy implementation.

Questions always arise. Where I am committing, not committing to what I really want. This concept of a mini-series based on my own life personally feels aligned. I am looking forward to sharing these with you. I want to have fun, not over-commit, and find joy in the ordinary.

Once again Simplicity, Abundance, and Embodied living are along for the ride. I have always found a lot of freedom in structure. This is speaking the truth once again. Habits are foundations that allow life to unfold as It comes with more assurance. ~Janae
