5 Ways To Nurture Yourself The Amida Way This Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to take a break from our busy lives and honor the mothers or mother figures in our lives. At Amida, this season is about nurturing the five-fold elements of wealth; health, career, finances, relationships, and personal growth. We Nurture, Love, and Care all aspects of our lives. When all the elements of wealth are in harmony, we can live each day in the present moment. In doing so, we discover harmony and balance. This is wealth energy!

Take time to nurture yourself this Sunday Funday! All in all, you will discover your cup overflows with love after you give yourself the love you deserve. Here are some ideas:

1. Nurture Yourself With Relaxation

Take some time to rest and relax. First, when we relax, our bodies release hormones such as endorphins and serotonin, which help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. In other words, relaxation promotes happiness and peace. As a result, in a relaxed state we are better able to focus, and enjoy our relationships with others. Here are some simple ways to simply relax:

• Take a warm bath: Fill up your bathtub with warm water and add some Epsom salt.
• Read a book: Find a cozy spot in your home, or a local park, and get lost in your favorite book.
• Go for a walk: Take a walk in nature, or even just around your neighborhood. Leave your cellphone behind, and just breathe!
• Sip your morning coffee in the sunshine: Give yourself 15 minutes to really enjoy your morning cup. Instead of reaching for your phone or computer–simply sit, sip & enjoy! As a matter of fact, you may notice more energy throughout the day because of your balanced circadian rhythm.

2. Practice Self-Care

Self-care is the practice of taking deliberate action to care for ourselves in ways that promote health and reduce stress. Above all, self care has numerous benefits!

First, self care prevents burnout. Second, it improves physical & mental health. Third, it increases self-awareness. Lastly, it enhances relationships. When we take care of ourselves, we are better able to show up for the people in our lives. Nurture yourself this Sunday! Here are some examples:

• Schedule a manicure or pedicure
• Sign up for a yoga class
• Book yourself a massage or another form of bodywork
• Go to your local gym, and sit in the sauna
• Get enough sleep
• Make a healthy meal
• Spend time in nature
• Engage in creative ideas
• Take a break from social media
• Spring-clean your closet and cabinets for a new energy in the home

Above all, through self-care activities, we become more present and supportive for those we love! Self-care doesn’t have to be a glamorous vacation in Turks and Caicos – perhaps, if you would like to allocate money towards this, then that’s what your soul needs! Trust yourself, and honor the desires of your heart. In other words, Self care is essential!

3. Nurture Relationships

Nurture the beautiful relationships in your life! Perhaps, you know the feeling of gathering with an old friend. After you leave each other, you feel refreshed and rejuvenated. Sound familiar? Think about someone you appreciate– send them a text, and plan an activity. Here are some ideas:

• Share a meal: Sharing a meal is a great way to connect with loved ones. You can cook together, go out to eat, or have a potluck.
• Engage in outdoor activities: Outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, or going for a walk are great ways to spend time together.
• Have a picnic: Pack a picnic and head to a park or beach for a relaxing afternoon.
• Attend events: Attend concerts, festivals, or other events together to experience something new and create shared memories. Perhaps, go to a local farmers market together.
• Take a class: Take a cooking, dance, or art class together to learn a new skill and spend quality time.

Relationships provide emotional support, and increase our personal growth! They bring our souls to life and are the foundation of who we are. In other words, when we nourish relationships, we also nourish ourselves.

4. Engage In A Hobby

Hobbies are often our souls deepest desires. They keep up excited, explorative, and challenged! Above all, they expand our knowledge and creativity.

This Sunday Funday, take time to do something you enjoy. What’s the first thing that came to your mind? Do that! Here are some examples:

• Start a new art project! Go to your local art store, and buy some paint materials
• Buy a new musical instrument, and start from scratch
• Learn & discover a new recipe
• Perhaps, discover your new passion for photography
• Learn something new at your local book store
• Re-arrange your living room, and embrace your passion for home-design

The list is endless! Try something new, or do something you know you already love. In other words, bring your soul forward, and embrace your creative side.

5. Treat Yourself

Treating yourself is a great way to practice self-care and boost your mood! This doesn’t mean you have to break the bank. It simply means you consciously choose to gift yourself something that nourishes your soul! Here are some ideas:

• Make yourself a delicious healthy desert, put on your favorite movie, and treat yourself to a cozy evening with yourself!
• Buy yourself those awesome pear of jeans you’ve been thinking about, you deserve it!
• Take yourself out to dinner – why not?
• Schedule yourself a hair appointment. Perhaps, it’ll feel nice to freshen up the energy!
• Buy yourself an awesome silk pillowcase from Amazon.

Sometimes, a little gift to ourselves goes a long way! In other words, nurture yourself and feel the love.
