Glowvember is a reminder to self-care.
It’s that simple. Often it is small, simple things that make us feel better or feel good, but frequently it’s those very same things we overlook and ignore as daily life unfolds...especially during the hectic holiday season . This month-long holistic wellness challenge is an effort, on my part, to remember to engage with those small, wonderful aspects of existence and to take some responsibility for my well-being. The goal is to be glowing by the end of the month. It may seem lofty, but it’s certainly possible! And I would love for others to join in!
You’ll see the daily ‘assignments’ are pretty repetitive and the tasks are fairly manageable and adaptable, even for the busiest person. The repetitveness is largely due to the fact that I didn’t want myself or anyone else who decides to join in to feel overwhelmed or bogged down by an endless to-do list and then give up. The flexibility is because everyone has different abilities and needs, and, well, life can be pretty unpredictable.
I invite all of you to join me who just want to feel better, more energized, less stressed, happier…etc. If an activity makes you want to kick and scream and run away, simple substitute it for something that feels good to you! If you’re not in the mood to do something, that’s fine, too. Keep in mind these are activities that have helped me in the past, if they don’t help you ditch 'em and replace them. I’m always open to seeing how other people take care of themselves, so please share! Just try your best and do what you can. Take it one day at a time.
Side note: Treat yoself days are a free-for-all, uniquely you day. It’s these days where you can do whatever you want that celebrates and treats you to a good time. Maybe you indulge in a hot bath, buy something for yourself, read a book, get dolled up, do a kick ass workout, have a fancy dinner, take a nap, just RELAX, binge a show, bake a pie and eat the whole thing, etc. The possibilities are really and truly endless. It’s up to you to decide what you need and want and to go for it!
I would enjoy seeing your posts, but there’s no requirement to share. #Glowvember2017 is where I will be, offering love, support, and encouragement to anyone who plays along!
If you need an explanation of any tasks, send me a message or an ask or what have you. I’ll be happy to answer and even happier for the company on this journey. I’ve made the daily prompts pictures instead of text, so it’s easier to save to your phone (they’re cut off in the preview so make sure to click them). If you want the list instead, though, let me know!
