Summer Self-Care Plans
The past year has been a doozy!!! As more people get vaccinated, COVID restrictions are lifting, and we are navigating the potential return to more face-to-face time.
Gathering with others in person might be what you’ve hoped and dreamed for, it might be stirring up your deepest fears and anxieties, or you may be feeling both excitement and dread simultaneously. Here’s a helpful article I read this week titled, Advice to the anxious for eventually meeting in person again. I’m definitely in the anxious/excited mixed-emotions camp!
The bottom line is: whatever your reaction to this transition…
You’re normal!!
This is a good time to create or update your self-care plan to support your transition to summer and to ease your nervous system through another shift. Here’s part 1 of a series to help you be with difficult feelings – like the ones you might be having now – and to give you tools to take with you into the summer:

June 2021 Oil Protocol
Give yourself over to review, renewal, reflection, and rest, as you cross the threshold from spring to summer.
Slow down.
Give yourself permission to feel the sun on your cheek, the breath in your lungs, even the frustrations and the hurts. Make a deal with yourself to offer patience and curiosity whenever possible.
This oil protocol will serve as a reminder and energetic guide.
Thyme – release and forgive
Wintergreen – surrender
Ylang ylang – connect with your inner child
Basil – renewal
Magnolia – compassion
Frank – truth
Dilute essential oils with a carrier oil for increased efficacy and decreased skin sensitivity.

What are your self-care plans this summer? How will you rest, play, renew, and release?
