Sometimes to take care of ourselves, all we need to do isnotice.

Body:

Notice the aches and pains. Notice the beautiful and not sobeautiful. Notice the signs of aging. If these physical realities that younotice evoke thoughts and emotion, notice those too.

Mind:

Notice your thoughts. Where do they turn – when you arealone or in a crowd? When you are busy or bored? When you are exercising orrelaxing?

Spirit:

Notice your feelings. What triggerssadness, happiness, anger, fear, guilt, anxiety, excitement, courage? Noticeyour feelings.

Take note and:

ASK, BRUSH, CELEBRATE, DANCE,EXHALE, FAST, GINGER, HUGH, IMAGINE, JINK, KINDLE, LAUGH, MASSAGE.

Notice but don’t judge.

Take note and choose how youwill respond.

Remember that a musical note thatstands alone is simply a noise but when strategically strung together notes makebeautiful music.
