“If we don’t take care of ourselves, we limit

“If we don’t take care of ourselves, we limit our ability to help . . . anyone.” 💡

Thank you so, so much to the staff from Metro Atlanta’s Boys & Girls Club for inviting me to lead the self-care journaling workshop for your professional development day!

I have a very special place in my heart for professional helpers, especially those who work with children. The generosity and care that goes into this work is unbelievable. 💗

In this workshop, we explored what self-care looks like as a professional helper, how to set boundaries at work and how to allow journaling to be a part of self-care.

Each attendee left with their own copy of Self Explore, Self Restore to continue their self-care journeys!

In a gmichelle self-care session, I lead intimate and large groups through self-reflection exercises, journaling prompts, trauma-informed discussion and education on the importance of stress management, mental health and self-care.⁠⠀

Are you hoping to read more next year?⠀

I do! 🤚🏾 Reading was one of my favorite past times as a kid, and it is one of the most nourishing parts of my self-care practice.⠀
⠀
I just finished Mark Manson’s “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” and my mind was blown! Reading about how to become more mindful, resilient and self-compassionate is on my to-do list for the next decade.⠀

What's on your to-do list this week?⁠ 📝 How do you keep your tasks organized?⠀
⁠⠀
One of my favorite ways to stay organized is by creating an "Urgent | Important" chart. Divide the chart into four sections:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
•Urgent & Important⁠⠀
•Urgent & Not Important⁠⠀
•Not Urgent & Important⁠⠀
•Not Urgent & Not Important⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Take a look at your to-do list and see where each task goes. Then start with what's 'Urgent & Important'. ⠀
⠀
Remember: every task does not need your immediate attention and every task is not the most important.⁠⠀
⁠⠀

Have you had to change your self-care lately? What did you need to change to take care of yourself better? 💗 #selfcaresunday

I never thought I would become a blogger . . . 👩🏾‍💻⠀
⁠⠀
. . . but ever since I could remember, I've always been a helper. From babysitting as soon as I was old enough, to volunteering on the weekends with my mom, to eventually becoming a licensed social worker, I believe my purpose is rooted in helping others.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So over a year ago, I made the decision to dive (head first) into creating a new way for folks to receive the help that they need. ⠀
⠀
Gmichelle Self Care Resources is a space for you to explore, learn and begin practicing self-care on your own terms.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This online platform went from a couple of blogs to a wellness-resource website, loaded with all things self-care, self-love and healthy relationships.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It is my pleasure to not only offer this space for you, but to stay committed to my own purpose through gmichelle.com. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me!⠀
