Mindful to Take Time for Self Care

Are you feeling festive, Reader? That is why we are focusing on Brightly Shining With Self-Care this week in our Seasons in the Orchard membership!

🌟 We are cruising right along and into week three and if you are still feeling stressed and anxious, then you need this week’s info more than ever! You simply cannot enjoy the holidays running on empty. It’s time to make time for yourself. Fill up your own cup in order to pour into others and be your best for your family and friends! 🥰 Make sure you are getting enough sleep and rest and find those moments of peace and calm amidst the chaos. Try to keep a regular routine, or at least a few of your regular habits. Also, be okay with saying no, staying home and asking for help! Just take care of yourself, for your own sake and your family’s sake! 💕

I hope you are having a great month and feeling calm and in control. But if not, and if you could use a little more self-care in your life, then you can hop in the group and join us! We can get you plugged into this group or even talk about the new year so you can start fresh and be ready to go get your goals!

We have about two weeks left in the month, and the whole year. Why not end it feeling better than ever with this 14 day self-care challenge?! Give yourself the gift of self-care this season and start the new year feeling refreshed and rested and ready to make the most of it! (Instead of feeling depleted and burnt out)

Freebie alert! Get a printable Self-Care Challenge for the remainder of the month of December here 👉🏻 ​​Self-Care Challenge.pdf. As we wind down on the month and draw closer to Christmas, take some time for self care through participating in this challenge! If you do participate, post in my free group on Facebook here at Coach AJ's Balanced Blood Sugar Victories and tag me so I can cheer 📣👏🏻🙌🏻 you on!!

mindful to be merry through self-care,

💕 Coach AJ

💌 P.S. If you had trouble coming up with a DIY gift idea from last week's newsletter, I have included an additional freebie below for you. You can print this out and make a lovely gift for a friend or a loved one.

🐄 I'm also going to share a link to the grass-fed beef tallow I have been buying lately. I just purchased a 2-pound tub to create some healthy moisturizing body butters and face balms for my family and friends this Christmas. Here is the link to the Lady May Tallow Company and here is a link to the homemade beef tallow moisturizer recipe that I will be using to make my gifts. I've included an information sheet that I thought you might like to add to your DIY gift if you make this body butter/moisturizer recipe for your friends and family. There is a printable version here 👉 Lady May Tallow Info Sheet.pdf​

Another DIY Gift Idea!
