CLARITY KICKSTART: Week of March 18, 2013
“A ‘restorative niche’ is Professor Little’s term for the place you go when you want to return to your true self. Create as many restorative niches as possible in your daily life.”
~ Susan Cain
Coaching Tip For The Week:
Where do you go – physically, mentally, and/or emotionally – to refresh your energy and ‘return to your true self’?
You likely invest a good deal of your day in action: getting the family fed and transported, keeping work moving forward, serving on committees and helping others. Often, caring for ourselves winds up low on our list of to-do’s – if it appears on the list at all.
This week, intentionally schedule an act of self-care into your weekly plan.
Maybe it’s a quiet visit to an art museum, a one-hour massage, or an afternoon coffee date with your best friend.
Put it in your calendar and honor it like you would a business appointment. Take note of your energy afterwards and ask yourself if ‘restorative niches’ may need to become part of your weekly – or daily – life.
