Rejuvenate yourself

And you, fair traveler, 

how will you rejuvenate yourself each day? 

-the art of pilgrimage (p.104)-

Day 12/31: self-care is a term that is spoken about ad nauseam in the social work profession. so much so, that i think sometimes people do not even take it seriously. yeah, yeah, yeah...

but this journey is long, and intense, and stressful. having a practice is so important to prevent weariness and fatigue.

i am constantly evolving my practices. the practice must serve you well.

since i got mono this winter i have actually gotten really serious about this for my own healing. every day there must be some moments of peace. some tea. maybe a walk.

reflection and art is good too, which i am of course practicing now in my 31 days. when the practice becomes dull, tasteless, lifeless, we must change it up. it must be fresh.
