Healing doesn't mean an end of disease or illness; true healing takes place when we find peace within ourselves no matter our outer life circumstances

As May begins the sun is shining outside the cabin window and I am planning my self care for the next week around the Archangels in preparation for teaching Rahanni Celestial Healing at the end of the month.

I do remember however not so long ago when self care was not at the top of my priorities list. The only time I took for myself was when I was so exhausted and fed up that all I wanted was to take to the bed asking myself why did life have to be so hard and miserable.

It was on days like these that I found it hardest to motivate myself to try anything new. Sometimes I did try to do something to help shift my mood - from listening to music; trying a little guided meditation or self healing to making the effort to get showered and dressed - "fake it till it was real" and it did work.

The real changes though, I have noticed, to my mood and my energy have happened ever since making self care a priority in my life and setting myself a self care routine. I've also found it need not be hard work.

Initially for me thoughts of self care meant exercise and keeping fit, working up a sweat or losing weight. However, with a little shift in mindset I've realized self care is simply dedicating some time each day to me.

Each weekday morning when I've sent the kids off to school I take some time to myself before starting work. This time can include some yoga, some meditation or self healing and some journal work. It changes and varies from week to week depending on what is happening for me with work or if the kids are in school or as my routine changes.

The one aspect that doesn't change is giving myself this time and the difference it makes to my whole day. It's like flicking the power switch for my mood and energy.

I will admit this didn't happen overnight. Finding the routine, the time of day, the schedule that worked for me took a little time. It took patience and perseverance and it took a willingness to put myself first and decide that the way I was living was not working for me. Eventually however, I did find what worked, what made a difference and now not only do I limit my bad days; but it has prevented bad days turning into bad weeks and bad weeks turning into bad months.

When you find what flicks your power switch on; make sure you plan ahead and include it into your day, into your week and into your month. It may take a bit of getting used to; you may have to re-work your routine until you find the right fit, but it will make all the difference!

Wishing you a wonderful month ahead!

Warmest wishes,
