Self Care Saturday with Michèle Heffron



Reflect & Release


As the year winds down, take a moment to reflect—what went well? What didn’t go so well? What have I been holding onto that is no longer serving me and my greatest good? What am I ready to let go of before I step into 2025? On a clean sheet of paper, write down anything that’s come to mind, noting anything that elicits a negative emotion within. After reviewing what you’ve written. Now, tear it up or burn it safely. This simple act can help you clear the way for new beginnings. Selfcare is all about new beginnings! Happy New Year!

Taking care of yourself, both mentally and physically, is crucial as you navigate life transitions. You're not alone, and there is a path forward, even if it doesn't feel like it right now.
