* Comparison

This training is not for everybody. It’s exclusively for people who are:

b) like our style of teaching.

Just as there was a time when “google” was not a verb, there was also a time when “bodacious” was not a word. Bodacious is a blend of “bold” and “audacious” created in British English dialect late in the nineteenth century.

I love this word! Some days we need to be bodacious! And some days, we need to remember to apply it to our own self-care.

No matter how rewarding or noble it is to be of service to others – whether you’re a coach, in retail, or taking care of an ailing parent – you cannot leave your self-care out of the picture. If you do, you’ll soon burn-out, become ill or angry, and you’ll ultimately be serving no one.

Here are 9 bodacious ways to practice self-care:

1 – Flowers!

This is so simple – and yet so powerful. Fresh flowers beautify any space. I always have an orchid on my coffee table. I see it the minute I walk in the door, and it reminds me to take a deep breath and cherish the beauty of my life. Create a Sunday ritual of getting fresh flowers to get your week off to a bodacious start!

2 – Take a nap.

Favorite thing: I climb into bed for a nap in the middle of the day. Within minutes comes the soft ploop of cat paws on the cover. I can almost hear the cat thoughts: Hmm. The human has decided to lie quietly. I’d like to take part. Then the paws walk all around me until they find the very best spot for settling.

Cats know the truth: Naps are bodacious!

3 – Pay full price.

The amount of energy we waste on trying to get “deals” is often not worth it. If you see something you love, then get it. I’m convinced that we’d all be so much happier and wealthier if we just got exactly what we loved without looking at price tags and wasting time looking for sales. (We’d probably have much less stuff too!)

4 – Trampolines and swings.

I was at a cocktail party last year. The adults were up on the deck watching the kids jump on the trampoline. At one point, all the kids ran inside. I kicked off my shoes and ran for the trampoline. Three other women joined me. We laughed and jumped for about 15 minutes. It was the most fun I’d had all week.

Swings are fun, too. And they’re easy to find! Who cares if you look or feel stupid? Being an adult doesn’t have to mean being boring!

5 – Truncate your To-Do’s.

How many items are on your to-do list today?

32?

20?

67?

A day should have no more than two or three mission-critical priorities for completion. The rest are extra credit! Give yourself the gift of completion. It is the ultimate self-care.

6 – Order out.

I love preparing meals. But some nights, it’s just necessary to let someone else do the cooking. We have a great delivery service in our town. I don’t mind the extra expense if it allows me a night of no clean up, and a little extra time to write or just be with my husband.

7 – Take a long walk with your dog.

Are you one of those people who gets home from work and marches your dog around the block with a grim look on your face? (Another to-do item checked off the list!)

Try this: Take your dog for a long happy walk. Revel in the delight and presence of your dog. It will absolutely lift your spirits.

8 – Read for fun.

Do you relish your days on the beach because it’s the only time you’ll allow yourself the joy of a trashy novel or some “light” reading?

Why not get a little bodacious and bring the beach to your work-week? Curl up at night and get lost in some fun fiction.

9 – Step AWAY from the computer. (And the phone.)

The challenge of this internet world is that we are “plugged in” 24/7. You are reachable all the time now. No one waits for “business hours” anymore. This is not healthy for your precious creative spirit, my friend.

Take regular breaks from Facebook, blogs, texts, cell phones, and email. (Yes, even this eZine!) Don’t include your computer in any of the above activities. And turn off your phone, too! I promise, your computer and phone won’t take it personally! (Neither will this e-Zine!)

It is important to give ourselves the space and permission to take a break, step back, and unwind. Here are five easy ways that you can practice self-care starting today.

1. Turn off email, phones, and other devices. I have realized more and more how these things are such a distraction and all too often create extra chaos and stress in our day to day lives. Limit phone calls and email time and systematize where possible. Leave the black(crack)berry at home, stop playing on the iPhone, and get present.

2. Take a brisk 20 minute walk. Walking has been my solution to many problems; I find that even a short walk can really change my perspective on a situation. Be sure to try new walking paths for an even greater perspective change.

3. Say “no” to what doesn’t serve you. If you are like me, you are a people-pleaser and it’s hard to say no, but when we over-commit to other people, obligations, projects, or clients that don’t serve us we can become resentful. Make a habit of taking a day or two to think things over to assess if the commitment is right for you.

4. Give Yourself a Break. I am not talking about a break from work, what I am talking about is a break from beating yourself up. Pushing yourself through deadlines, working extra hours, and burning yourself out serves no one. Go easy on yourself, if you aren’t nice to yourself who will be? You’ll never have everything done, and perfect doesn’t exist.

5. Passion, Hobbies, Nature. What do you love but don’t allow yourself to indulge in? Whatever “it” is – go do that. For me, I rarely allow enough time to get into the mountains for some hiking, even worse; I skip out on painting and being creative which I love. Spend some time working on your hobby and your passions (outside of work) and find that you’ll be easily rejuvenated.

For women, this is even more important, as we go through life feeling the need to take care of everyone else, it is critical that we take care of ourselves first .

Guest post by Andrea Costantine, andreacostantine.com

Every time I get the chance to go away and take a break I realize how trapped I am in “email prison.” The constant obsessive need to check my email repeatedly due to worrying that I am missing something, but what exactly I am not sure.

When I ask myself “why do I need to check email constantly?” and keep hitting that “send and receive” button, I don’t get an answer – I now believe because there isn’t one. There isn’t a need to check email incessantly, it’s only a belief that we develop over time.

I usually blame my constant email checking OCD habit on my ten years of mortgage processing work, where everything was needed right now or yesterday and that prompt and immediate attention to everything was just expected it was necessary. Not checking emails and responding to the fires could mean that someone wouldn’t close on their house tomorrow. Which may not seem like too big of a deal, but trust me, the mortgage business is a high-stress, fast-paced environment (despite contrary belief). Things are constantly happening and a last minute fire could mean delays in closing.

Okay, enough about that, I was just trying to blame something for my email prison that I’ve been working on breaking free from. You see this need to check email has really hurt my productivity level because as entrepreneurs we need to be working on the right things every day. But using email as a way of telling us what to work on, and being in reaction mode to everything comes in, instead of action mode to what is really important could be the death sentence to our business.

Regardless, if you find yourself like me where you are having those days where all you really did (if you get honest with yourself) was check email and react all day long. Nothing got done on that top priority to do list, and you felt flustered and literally all over the place, then it’s time to make some changes.

Here’s some things I’ve been doing to break free from “email prison” and some others you can try too:

1. Set designated times to check email. Morning, Afternoon, Evening and then stick with them.

2. Create an autoresponder to let people know that you only check emails periodically so they don’t expect an immediate response

3. Unsubscribe from any junk mail that you don’t want to read

4. Set up “Rules & Alerts” in your outlook so certain emails will go directly into the right folder

5. Turn off audible alerts for new emails

6. Turn off automatic send and receive checks

7. Close out your email when working on projects
