4 Ways Christy practices "being" a human

1.  Movement

2. Quiet

3. Curiosity  (Christy's Favorite Poem: https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-brief-for-the-defense/)

4. Adult Conversation

Bonus Tasks:  Art, cleaning something, drinking water & eating well, reading and listening to podcasts, limiting my social media.

 

Self-Care:  Make your list of 4 ways to practice "being human" while raising humans.  Make the tasks tiny and daily.

 

Play:  Trace your kids' hands onto blank paper, color the hands, and then fill the space all around the hands with positive affirmations, things you notice about them, what makes them awesome, ways they have grown. 

 

Don't miss out on the FB group.  You'll need to know that I do something every day.
