Two Minutes of Self-Care

A two-minute exercise for anyone in need of release on any given day.

It’s easy to neglect self-care.

We get caught up in work, the issues of our friends and families, economics, politics, and lots of other bullshit that doesn’t serve us.

This leads to stress; fear and uncertainty; depression; anxiety; and mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical discomfort. Unchecked and ignored, this can make you physically ill — or outright kill you.

To add insult to injury, we see selfishness too easily and readily. Thus, even the tiniest iota of self-care gets neglected, ignored, denied, and put off for other things.

Self-care is not necessarily a major, costly thing. It doesn’t have to be a massage, a shopping trip, a vacation, or anything else requiring time and money.

Many people don’t realize this. And if they do, they think self-care involves affirmations, mantras, lengthy meditations, and other hooky-spooky measures.

While all of the above can be applications of self-care — they aren’t the only options. Self-care can be ludicrously simple, free of cost, and minimal use of time.

Thus — I give you two minutes of self-care you can apply regularly.
