Get creative, get outside, & treat yourself!

To help you create your ways to show yourself a little love & a little care, we're going to share simple ways every week in May to nourish, encourage, and engage with yourself in small but powerful ways.

This is part of our month-long focus on self-care and our Self-Care Bingo game taking place in the FIERCE Connection FB Group! We'd love to have you join us. It's free, it's fun, & an easy to remember what it feels like to take care of ourselves. Grab your bingo card here!

Flex Your Creative Muscles

In the hustle and bustle that is our daily lives, it can be hard to make time for anything but the essentials. Spending some time in a creative way that you enjoy (think about what you loved to do as a kid!) not only honors the inner child among us all, but it has profound health benefits.
In a Forbes article, author Ashley Stahl writes, “a creative act such as crafting can help focus the mind, and has even been compared to meditation due to its calming effects on the brain and body. Even just gardening or sewing releases dopamine, a natural antidepressant. Creativity helps reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.”
Dance in the kitchen with your family after dinner, color or doodle as a work break, or break back into an old hobby. What beauty will you put into the world as an act of self-love this week?

Do something creative or artistic - make something just because

✨✨✨✨✨

Stop and Smell the Roses. Literally!

Everything is blooming and the natural world is coming alive again! What a gift it is to intentionally acknowledge the beauty that surrounds us. It can be so easy to take those things for granted and not fully appreciate all the world has to offer us.
Take yourself on an outdoor date WITHOUT your phone, and commit to taking in the beauty you see. Admire your neighborhood, the architecture, the plants, the love and kindness between those around you – immerse yourself in the wonder of the world!

Encourage yourself like you would a close friend.

There’s something about a “just because” gift from a friend that boosts my spirits in an incredible way. A venmo payment to buy myself coffee, my favorite treat picked up by a friend when they were out, or an out of the blue call/text to remind me I was loved.
It’s so easy to do these things for other people, but how about you do something special for YOU from YOU, just because.
Buy your favorite candy when you’re running an errand, pick up take out because you could use a break from cooking, or take yourself out to lunch – treat yourself extra special just because. Notice how beautiful it is when we take care of ourselves and treat ourselves with the kindness we so often reserve for others.

Bought myself flowers, ice cream or a small treat just because

Let's have a little fun while we take care of ourselves... get a little creative, get out into nature, and grab a treat just because, Allison!

It's the little things like this, that add up over time, which allow us to feel good from the inside out and give ourselves the care, love, & respect we deserve.

Checkout all the many ways we're going to dive in this month on our Self-Care Bingo Card.

🎉Cheers🎉 to taking care of ourselves all month long,
