Do you have a Spiritual Maintenance Plan?
Living Supreme is here to inspire and support women to love themselves, and I believe finding your own self-care routine that suits you is the key to keeping your spirit in check. I want to share the practices and rituals that keep my spirit in check. I was recently listening to a podcast on Super Soul Conversations with Oprah Winfrey and Iyanla Vanzant. Iylana spoke about having a spiritual maintenance plan. A plan you have set aside when life gives you everyday challenges or unexpected challenges beyond your control. I immediately thought….Shit, I need one of these myself.
I try to follow this plan almost everyday, not just when I’m in crisis. This plan consist of: listening to an uplifting podcast, currently that is Oprah’s Super Soul Conversations, reading a quote that speaks to me (I have started keeping a journal of quotes that resonate with me and I go back later and read them), I do my daily check-in on the Shine app (this is a paid service, I signed up when they had a really good deal). I like this app because it provides a 6-7min talk about the theme for the day and it provides a small meditation. It is a quick check-in and reflection to start the day and it helps keep me grounded throughout the day. I also try to meditate at night before bed.
In addition, you will find a list below of activities that feed my soul. To switch things up, I plan to post a video discussing some of these activities or me doing some in action. I think this will be a fun way to promote things that I do to stay living supreme.
- Read/Listen to books, and podcasts
- Listen to music/attend concerts
- Exercise ( The Bar Method, Zumba and Yoga)
- Drink tea (I love trying new teas and get them from everywhere, but one of my favorite places is The Spice and Tea Exchange)
- Hot baths or showers w/music of course
- Cook
- Travel
- Use essential oil spritzers
- Blog
- Make skincare products & self-care packages
- Mediate (I use the Insight Timer app for guided meditations)
- I’m here for any type of spa like pampering (massages, manicures, pedicures etc..)
- Hang out with my husband w/o the kids.
- Spend time with my kids and family
- Rejuvenate with mountain time
- Get together with my friends. (sometimes I need to share space with my girls to feel grounded, revive my energy and let my hair down).
