- [Sneak in a siesta](https://www.sagepractices.co.nz/self-care/sneak-in-a-siesta/) - Sleep is one of our greatest elixirs. We all feel so much better after a decent nights sleep. The quality of our sleep greatly impacts our health, so it’s worthwhile putting in the effort to optimise the benefits. Developing good sleep hygiene is one of the greatest self-care practices we can apply.
- [It's all about the Breath](https://www.sagepractices.co.nz/self-care/its-all-about-the-breath/) - This month's Sage Self-Care Project will offer practical tips on developing breath awareness and fostering a daily breathing practice. Follow the daily practices through Sage’s social media platforms – each post will be hyperlinked daily; follow me to keep up to date with the monthly practice.
- [Have the Courage to Lean in](https://www.sagepractices.co.nz/self-care/have-the-courage-to-lean-in/) - When you notice you are worrying about something you think might happen or you are ruminating about something from the past, use this awareness as an opportunity. This is because as you become conscious of your reaction to a situation, you have arrived at a ‘choice’ point – and a chance to change tack. You can either keep imagining your familiar unhelpful thoughts or try something new.
- [What is your foundation for self-care?](https://www.sagepractices.co.nz/self-care/what-is-your-foundation-for-self-care/) - Conscious breathing is one of your best foundations for self-care – if you are alive, you always have your breath - you just need to remember to use it. Practising conscious breathing regularly makes you more likely to connect with your breath to manage stress effectively.
- [Use your breath to help you untangle](https://www.sagepractices.co.nz/self-care/use-your-breath-to-help-you-untangle/) - The more aware of your breathing patterns you become – the more space you can create for yourself to prioritise your energy. You will be amazed how much a regular conscious breathing practice can help your mental and physical health. It doesn’t have to be long and complicated...
- [How do you champion self-care at work?](https://www.sagepractices.co.nz/self-care/how-do-you-champion-self-care-at-work/) - A key component of self-care is being able to recognise your thought patterns and reactions. As your awareness develops you have a greater chance of knowing which thoughts to respond to and which ones to let go of. This can be a great strategy to support you in being less reactive at work.
- [How do you respond to your self-talk?](https://www.sagepractices.co.nz/self-care/how-do-you-respond-to-your-self-talk/) - Most of us speak more harshly to ourselves than we do to others – and often we are unaware of the constant critique that goes in our head. Over time many of us begin to believe our internal stories and this affects our mood, our energy and our ability to connect.
- [How do you respond to your emotions?](https://www.sagepractices.co.nz/self-care/how-do-you-respond-to-your-emotions/) - The more often we respond objectively to the stories we tell ourselves, the more opportunity we have in finding beauty in our daily grind. We are the only ones who knows what goes on in our minds – and we are the only ones who can do anything about it.
- [Finding the strength to feel vulnerable](https://www.sagepractices.co.nz/self-care/find-the-strength-to-feel-vulnerable/) - When you have the courage to lean in and allow yourself to feel vulnerable, you are making a conscious choice to connect with whats truly happening for you. Even though it may feel unpleasant – if you let yourself feel it – maybe you can start to heal it.
- [How do you keep your inner light glowing?](https://www.sagepractices.co.nz/self-care/how-do-you-keep-your-internal-light-glowing/) - Holding ourselves steady in the storms of today’s world requires on-going mental strength and self-compassion. The more time we spend fostering self-love when we are in times of ease – the greater the resource we have to draw from in times of distress. None of us can take away the darkness we have experienced, but we can choose to kindle the light...
- [Connect with nature to create space in your day](https://www.sagepractices.co.nz/self-care/connect-with-nature-and-create-space-in-your-day/) - When we look to nature for strength and support, her beauty can help us find courage to deal with what is happening in our lives and can create a feeling of spaciousness. When we engage in this simple activity on a regular basis it has the potential to help us develop a greater sense of ease.
- [What does being honest mean for you?](https://www.sagepractices.co.nz/self-care/what-does-being-honest-mean-to-you/) - Being truthful to ourselves and others requires us to develop characteristics of honesty and integrity. These qualities are not just about our words. They are attributes that come into fruition when our thoughts, words, and actions are congruent with what we feel, say, and do.
- [Where do you choose to focus your energy?](https://www.sagepractices.co.nz/self-care/where-do-you-choose-to-focus-your-energy/) - Our wellbeing is in a constant state of flux. Nothing in this world is static – everything within us and around us is always changing. Every day we have an opportunity to choose how we respond to the changes that come our way.
- [What do you do to keep yourself centred?](https://www.sagepractices.co.nz/self-care/what-do-you-do-to-keep-yourself-centered/) - Finding ways to connect with ourselves, people we love and those who share similar philosophies, as well as being outside in the natural environment are great ways to restore our energy and re-centre from the impact of external forces.
- [Introducing the Sage self-care project](https://www.sagepractices.co.nz/self-care/introducing-the-sage-self-care-project/) - Prioritising our own self-care gives us stamina and resilience to cope with the constant flux of adversity we all experience on a day to day basis.
