It's winter. Post holidays. A season for cocooning. Anyone else feeling a little run down or in the mood for rest and rejuvenation?

Let's dive into how to take care of yourself, and how to notice when you need a little extra care and attention.

One simple question carries so much insight: "What do you do when you're well?" originally shared by Verena Rizg.

We also get into Human Design for self-care too.

Blocks are areas of our life where we are blocked from living openly and freely. These are the boundaries of our lives, our off-limit areas, that usually have intense emotional responses tied to them.

We all have them, yet they are different for each of us. But, whatever they're about, they feel vulnerable and uncomfortable - you'll know them.

So, let's talk blocks - how to process them, let them go & do some re-wiring.

Journaling through blocks:

I know it is safe for me to let go of this block. I choose to let it go now. Please show anything I need to do to let this go:

• When does this block get triggered for me? Why?
• What feelings does it bring up inside of my body? Where?
• Does it bring to mind any memories?
• Where do I think this came from?
• Am I ready to let it go?
• What do I think is true instead?

Let's talk limiting inputs. We live in a world with no buffers. Learning to limit inputs and tnue out the noise is an essential skill to develop so you can focus, go deep on things that matter to you, and hear your own inner guidance.

Why not give yourself the joy of sitting with your heart for an hour a day?

Notes:

Try out limiting inputs in your life for 10 days. Here are some ways you can do it:

• put your phone on airplane mode
• take a social media break
• cut out the news
• take a break from tv shows & movies
• take a pause from your book
• take a break from listening to podcasts
• no inbox checking after work
