As our theme for July is Back to the Basics, one thing I want you to remember is that "IT ALL STARTS WITH YOU." Life is constantly moving, schedules are packed, the many hats we wear and with all of this we often forget to check in with ourselves. Ask yourself: -How am I really doing today? -What do I need in this moment? We move from one task to the other without taking a moment to breathe, reflect or just simply be. Take a pause... not to plan or produce but to just connect with yourself. Here are some journal prompts as you take a moment to breathe: -How am I feeling? -What's something I've been holding on to that needs to be released? -What is something I can do to show myself care or kindness? Remember, nothing is good unless you are. As you take this moment, plan regular check ins or your calendar so you are not lost in all the tasks and appointments. Just like you check in on others, you have to check in on yourself. You are non-negotiable. You have to set the tone for yourself and for how others treat you and the expectations they have for you.
