This blog tells the beginning of my story of self care. Looking after me is my main priority, it isn't selfish it is essential.
Enjoy and I hope you begin to feel inspired and start your own journey.
It all began in January 2022...
It was Fearne Cottons book launch Bigger Than Us. It was such an amazing night with good friends. From the moment I sat in my seat I was hooked and could relate to everything Fearne Cotton was saying. She introduced me to self prayer and meditation with guest speakers. I had a go at both and realised that meditation was something I really enjoyed.
Social Media
On my train journey back that night, my friends were on social media and I was speaking to them about how family life was and how inspirational the evening was. I wanted to set up an account that was about real life. My family life!!! Two children, one with ASD, anxiety and depression, a huband and me. Originally this page was to raise awareness of ASD educating the world on our family life. Little did I know at this time it would also take me on my own selfcare journey.
Rainbowstorm
Big monkey and I about six months before hand was going to start making a YouTube channel about different strategies we use to cope with behaviours. Unfortunately big monkey didn't want to do this as she felt embarrassed. She did however come up with the incredible name rainbowstorm. Click on the link below which takes you to my first Instagram post explaining why she picked the name.
First Self Care Post
On January 26th I wrote one of my first self care posts, where I began my journey. In this post I challenged myself to a week of self care. Here I treated myself to a bubble bath.
Who knew that after that week I would be doing it everyday.
I hope you felt inspired by what you have just read. Over the next few months I will be writing more about my self care journey. If in the mean time you want to know more about me and my beautiful family please follow my Instagram page rainbowstorm2012 and share your amazing self care tips and journey with me.
