Happy Cat Lady Day!

When it comes to self-care, it’s easy to believe we’re being held back by facts. But often, it’s the thoughts, feelings or long-held beliefs that sabotage our efforts to care for ourselves. I wrestled with this as an animal warrior, and here’s what I’ve learned. www.facebook.com/Animalwarrio...

As animal warriors, how often do we pause, focus on ourselves and ask: What am I thinking right now? What am I feeling right now? Read more here: facebook.com/Animalwarrio... DM me the word “Remind” if you’d like a super simple way to start making check-ins a natural part of your day.
