In my pursuit of inner peace and balance, I stumbled upon a treasure trove of guided meditations on YouTube. Recognizing their potential to uplift my spirit, I decided to share them with you. I have made them an integral part of my morning routine, believing every little bit of assistance can make a difference when caught in a cycle of negativity. These meditations serve as a powerful tool to center myself and restore equilibrium whenever I feel off balance.
“Meditation nourishes the mind in the same way that food nourishes the body.”
Putting yourself first means it may be necessary to say no to someone else to say yes to yourself.
The familiar advice of airline attendants to prioritize wearing their oxygen masks before assisting others has become a widely cited metaphor for self-care. The reasoning behind this instruction extends beyond safety procedures. It emphasizes the crucial importance of self-care for our well-being and ability to support others effectively. This seemingly paradoxical advice suggests that caring for ourselves is not only a personal necessity but also a means of enhancing our capacity to care for others.
In the myriad of daily obligations, taking care of ourselves seems to often fall by the wayside. We prioritize everything else until we succumb to illness, exhaustion, or overwhelming stress, realizing that we have neglected our own needs. It is at this point that we comprehend the imperative of self-care, not as a form of selfishness or indulgence, but as a fundamental necessity for our well-being and the ability to care for others who depend on us.
Prioritizing self-care may involve declining certain requests to focus on your well-being. It’s common to feel obligated to assist others, but remember the “oxygen metaphor”: just as you need oxygen before assisting others on a flight, you need to care for yourself to be an effective caregiver to others. Remind yourself that self-care enhances your ability to support others and develop a mantra that resonates with you, such as “By caring for myself, I become more capable of caring for others.”
Remember that self-care doesn’t need to be extremely time-consuming. The most effective prescription for self-care is perhaps small, daily rituals. This could include taking 30 minutes for yourself at the beginning and end of the day to meditate, write in a journal, or simply relax. You could also occasionally indulge in a half-hour self-pampering session by transforming your daily shower or bath into a luxurious experience.
Prioritizing self-care, even in small ways, can significantly benefit you and those you care about. Just as we all need oxygen to survive, we also require moments of self-nurturing to thrive. It’s crucial to remember to take these breaths of self-care regularly, just as we naturally breathe air to stay alive.

In the chaotic dance of our daily lives, finding solace amidst the storm is a pursuit we all yearn for. Imagine a world where clutter and chaos give way to a serene symphony of order and purpose. Today, we embark on a journey to explore the profound emotional impact of embracing organization in our lives.
Section 1: The Liberating Bliss of Decluttering
Picture this: the weight of unnecessary possessions lifted from your shoulders, leaving room for clarity and tranquility. As you bid farewell to the clutter, a sense of liberation washes over you, akin to the feeling of a cool breeze on a hot summer day. Decluttering is not just about physical space; it’s a profound emotional cleanse.
Section 2: The Dance of Productivity and Peace
In the organized realm, every item has its designated HOME, and every task has its designated time. As you synchronize your life to this rhythmic dance of order, you find a harmonious blend of productivity and peace. The satisfaction of completing tasks in an orderly fashion is an emotional reward that fuels your motivation.
Section 3: Crafting a Sanctuary of Serenity
Your living space is a canvas, and organization is the brush that paints a masterpiece of peace. When you curate a sanctuary “Nest” that reflects order and intentionality, you create a haven for your soul. The emotional impact is like stepping into a spa after a long, hectic day—pure bliss.
Section 4: The Empowering Rituals of Planning
Organizing your time is not just a practical act; it’s a powerful emotional investment. The ritual of planning brings a sense of control and purpose, turning the chaotic unknown into a roadmap of achievable goals. With each planned step, you become the architect of your destiny, and that empowerment is exhilarating. Even if something goes wrong along the way . . . which it will if you have a plan you can be flexible with your next step.
In Closing:
In the symphony of life, embracing organization is the key to unlocking a crescendo of positive emotions. The decluttered spaces, the rhythmic dance of productivity, the crafted sanctuaries “Nest”, and the empowering rituals—they all converge to create a beautiful melody of joy and serenity. So, let’s embark on this journey together, and let the harmony of organization resonate in our hearts and homes, bringing forth a cascade of positive emotions that will echo through every aspect of our lives.
I found these videos when the world went into lockdown, I will be posting them weekly. Enjoy!
I have followed this videos tips and resources, here is how I put my wellness first:
I use the SLEEP CYCLE APP . . . it’s awesome!
I have been putting a glass of water by my bed since my early 20’s, the first thing I do before even putting my feet on the floor is take small sips of water – then I sit on the edge of my bed and do some sitting stretches and finish my 8oz glass of water. I will have to add this is a nice little trick when you have had too much to drink too! Just shouting that out . . . 🙂
If I want to look at my phone before bed, I have settings on my smartphone to gradual turns the screen darker as the sun goes down. I would rather read a book, it puts me in a better mindset to sleep rather than scrolling through nice or not so nice pictures.
