Just like sleep is the best solution when you are tired, and eating a healthy meal is the best thing to do when you’re hungry, a retreat is the best remedy when you begin feeling disconnected from your inner wisdom. Detoxing from our busy schedules, allows us to recognize our habits of distraction and to upgrade our lives and realign with our values. The topics we cover in Self-Care for Mama Bear are the elements of the Women's MYRetreat:

Setting Intention

Guided Imagery

Mindfulness

Gratitude

I would love for you to join me at MYRetreat space. Until then, let's ensure that you are experiencing Self-Care for Mama Bear in a space that helps you relax and unwind.

Preparing Your Space:

Choose a space with soft and natural lighting. Place softness beneath you, a plush carpet is ideal, fuzzy socks are a great option too. Wear comfortable clothing. Enhance your environment with essential oils, or any scent you love. Keep your seating simple, bolsters work well, or a sofa cushion can be brought to the floor to help you feel grounded. Select a few decorations which bring you joy. Make sure to select your favorite pen and journal.

This process helps to uncover your personal preferences. Whether you find all the items you desire in your home or purchase a new item to decorate your home retreat space, keep gratitude and simplicity at the forefront of your mind. There will be tough moments during a retreat when you experience thoughts of resistance. Stick with it! You are moments away from a breakthrough. Share below the items that you gathered for your retreat space!
