Paying attention is a self loving habit, if something isn’t working or something feels off, just stop.
Stop and ask yourself what you need in that moment to make yourself feel better. Sometimes we don’t ask ourselves because we are frightened that we won’t be able to fulfil our own needs. It usually is something very simple and just requires us to be flexible.
Today after my teaching session I wasn’t feeling great but had a heap of marking to do and generally like to do it in school. I took 5 minutes to think about what I needed and it was that I should go home, have a rest, enjoy some sunshine and do the marking later.
I can have quite a fixed mindset and I most definitely dislike taking work home especially marking, but in this instance it was much more self loving to take a break.
Make it a habit to just stop for 5 minutes, get off the hamster wheel and just ask yourself what it is you need and is there a more self loving way of doing this.

You’re right that we don’t always take those couple of minutes to stop and think for ourselves. Habits and diaries and to do lists often seem more important than what our body is telling us. Sounds like it was just right for you – the sunshine was so glorious yesterday, great you could enjoy it 🙂
