Sticking To It

{midweek hike in Malibu Creek State Park}

My “Monday Motivation” consists of posting my continued efforts to maintain my New Year’s goals for 2015.  I truly appreciate all of you because you’re part of my support system — you’re helping me hold myself accountable to stick with these goals!  I can’t emphasize enough how important self-care is to maintain a sense of well-being, which is the reason my last few posts have been dedicated to the topic.  Most of my patients struggle with the same issue, which leads to burnout, increased stress, uncontrolled anxiety, worsened health, and much more.  The photos in my post are proof of my activities from last week, and serve as my motivation to continue this week.  If you’d like to join me in my efforts to prioritize self-care, would love for you to share how you’ve been doing so thus far!
