Can you believe it’s already November?! I literally turned on the T.V. this weekend and low and behold, it was “Countdown to Christmas”. Although the busy holiday season is rapidly upon us, I wanted to take a moment to write another Monday Motivation post to talk about self love and 10 things you should remind yourself of daily. Although it’s a jam packed season, you must make sure to take the time for yourself and today on CCG, I wanted to inspire you to become motivated for the week ahead with a post about self love.
Warning, this post is not about fashion nor accessories. It’s not even about a fancy hotel Neil and I traveled to. Usually on Mondays, I like to empower and motivated all of you with my inspirational quotes or “How-To’s” on how to deal with stress, etc. Well, today, all of that went out the window for me. As I sit here trying to grasp at the gravity of today, I decided to write about scoliosis like I used to. Writing is what got me through some of my darkest times, and so today on CCG, I am writing about scoliosis once again.
Marriage advice brought to you from the other side of ten beautiful years!
To celebrate our ten year wedding anniversary ala blogger style, I organized a sunset photo shoot while we were on our little getaway to Santa Barbara. I wanted to do something special to capture the love we still share after 10 years of marriage. I will cherish these photos forever as our photographer, Lauren MaeveMarriage advice brought t, did a wonderful job and they turned out beautifully. So today on CCG, I wanted to not only share our amazing sunset Santa Barbara pictures but also talk a little bit about what I have learned over the last decade being married and share with you some marriage advice and valuable things that I have learned over time.
I am hardly an expert when it comes to self-care. I’m not a psychology major and I didn’t take courses on the subject of taking care of yourself, but I’ve had some pretty big life experiences that have definitely been stressful and anxiety-inducing causing me to find ways to cope.
I have spent a large amount of time looking into new ways that can help alleviate stress because let’s face it, us moms definitely have our hands full. Couple that with work, deadlines, difficult situations and everything else you have piled up, and you have the perfect recipe for stress! I think everyone deals with this differently and for that reason, I have put together my favorite 10 self-care ideas that I have used to help me combat stress and anxiety for Monday Motivation. I hope you find something here that resonates with you and that you try it yourself!
