Jennifer Louden Self-Care Minder

Not Quite Daily Dollop
This is from Jennifer's website. It is a nice reminder that we need to be good to ourselves also!

Take time for a 5 to 10 minute all over scalp and body massage before you shower or bathe. Use jojoba, almond, coconut or sesame oil--you can warm it by placing the bottle with the oil in warm water for five minutes.

Start at your scalp, working up from the temples.

Spend extra time on your ears and then your sweet, precious neck.

Work your way down your arms and massage the spot between your pointer finger and thumb.

Clock wise circles on your belly are good for digestion.

Long strokes on your arms and legs and sides of your body help you detox.

Dig into your feet with your knuckles to relieve tension and balance your whole body.

Be delighted by your beautiful, precious body. And if you can't delight in the whole darn thing, how about individual parts--your wrists, your ankles, your cheeks, your eyes?

Today's Intention: Creating a moment of soothing self-massage and letting it spread into my day.

With comfort and love,
Jen
