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.
