self-esteem . Did I mention that having an orderly house that you are proud of makes you feel more confident in your business ?
Have an orgasm ... yup I said it . Orgasms release endorphins and dopamine , ease tension , clear creative blocks , keeps the “ plumbing ” from backing up and relieves stress . Do it yourself , do it with a friend , do it with your partner - just do it .
BE PRESENT ... every day as many minutes as you can and they don ’ t have to be consecutive . Being present is being fully aware and within yourself . Experiencing every situation from a WHOLE perspective . Being present promotes positive thinking , self-awareness , personal growth , release of bad habits , better choices and mindfulness . Don ’ t live in future moments or the minutes past . Use your 5 senses to live in the exact moment you are standing and BE AWAKE .
Be spiritual ... Go to church , go outside , go to mass , hug a tree , PRAY , cast a spell , hum mantras , dance naked in your backyard .. whatever connects you to spirit .
Not your mama ’ s list of self-care is it ? That ’ s what I ’ m here for darlings - expanding your thought and opening you up to bigger ideas . Let ’ s move on to the guilt factor ..
health is the worst self-sabotaging behavior an entrepreneur can have .
Let ’ s be blunt shall we ? You know it ’ s important . When you don ’ t take a break for yourself to connect and regroup whether it ’ s once a month or once a week - you get sick . Eventually , your body will say “ that ’ s enough bitch !” and it will force you to stop with something that will either slow you down significantly or debilitate you . You ’ re no good to yourself , your family or your clients if you ’ re down for the count .
You HAVE to make yourself a priority , you have to change your perspective and broaden your thoughts about self-care and you have to be consistent . No excuses , no bullshit . Schedule “ your time ” into your calendar just like you do everyone else , if that ’ s what you need to do , and you keep the fucking appointment ! Stay well beautiful darlings !

The act of self-care for some of us lady bosses has a certain amount of guilt attached to it in that we feel selfish taking time for ourselves . It is a feeling we have to own and destroy for ourselves and the only way to do that is to find the root of it . Guilt is a powerful emotion - you need to take your power back and get the hell over it .
Tell me if this sounds familiar : “ I ’ m so stressed and exhausted , I haven ’ t had a minute to myself in months / weeks , I just need to get away and do something for myself .” You KNOW you need a break but you don ’ t take it because the guilt sets in - you make a 1000 excuses for yourself and then you don ’ t do it . “ I ’ m too busy , I have that client proposal to write , I ’ m too tired , I have too much to do already , I can ’ t afford it , I have so much work to do and it already takes so much time away from the kids …” The guilt women put on themselves for wanting / needing to nurture and take care of their
