I enjoyed this article from Very Well Mind on five types of self care strategies and hope you will, too.

Self-care involves intentional actions that promote well-being. Different types of self-care can support physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional health.

Green Lights
by Aloe Blacc
2010

Something special happened today
I got green lights all the way
With no big red sign to stop me
No traffic jam delay

See I was driving over the moon (Ohh I)
In my big hot air balloon (Ohhh I)
Floating high into the darkness (Ohhh I)
I hope I get there soon (Ohhh I)
It so many things to do
So many people i need to talk to
And they've all been waiting for me
Well I gotta make it through

Something special happened today
I got green lights all the way
With no big red sign to stop me
No traffic jam delay

Thank my stars for air that we breathe (Ohhh I)
You have no idea of what it means... no no (Ohhh I)
To a man who's always traveling (Ohhh I)
Who's seen the things that I've seen (Ohhh I)

I don't know what's yet to come
Not sure of anything that I've done
Really makes that much a difference
Well I hope it has for some

Something special happened today
I got green lights all the way
With no big red sign to stop me
No traffic jam delay

Well I was driving over the moon (Ohhh I)
In my big hot air balloon (Ohhh I)
Floating high up in the darkness (Ohhh I)
I promise that I'll make it to you very soon (Ohhh I)
Something special happened today

Is it self care or just avoidance? Dr. Kelly Kessler invites us to explore the difference and consider some unexpected ways to practice self care:

You hear self-care everywhere. You hear the benefits, and you get the list of all the things you "should" do to treat yourself, but when does self-care becom...

Let's celebrate being lucky this month! All of our songs are about luck, with one exception that will be an Irish Folk Tune on the 16th!!

Lucky
by Jason Mraz (Featuring Colbie Caillat)
2008

Do you hear me? I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby, I'm trying
Boy, I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you, I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes, through the trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Islands in the Stream
Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton
1982

Baby, when I met you, there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside
There was something going on

You do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got something going on

Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication
All this love we feel needs no conversation
We ride it together, uh-huh
Making love with each other, uh-huh

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, uh-huh
From one lover to another, uh-huh

I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothing if you got no one
And you just walk in the night
Slowly losing sight of the real thing

But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing

No more will you cry
Baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one
In love forever
We can ride it together, uh-huh
Making love with each other, uh-huh

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, uh-huh
From one lover to another, uh-huh

Sail away
Oh come sail away with me

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, uh-huh
From one lover to another, uh-huh

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, uh-huh
From one lover to another, uh-huh

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between

All I Have To Do Is Dream
Everly Brothers
1958

Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime, night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime, night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream
