As we reach the midpoint of the year, it’s the perfect time to take a moment to pause and reflect on how we’ve been taking care of ourselves. Self-care is often something that can easily be overlooked or pushed to the bottom of our priority list, especially when life gets busy or stressful. However, it’s crucial to check in with ourselves regularly to make sure we are nurturing our mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

Here are some tips for conducting a mid-year self-care review.

• Honest self-refection Take a step back and honestly assess how well you’ve been taking care of ourselves in various aspects of our lives.
• Identify areas for improvement Take note of where you may be neglecting your wellness needs.
• Set realistic goals Are there any adjustments or tweaks that need to be made? Refer to Diya Wellness Ritual to help you focus on 3 important axes - Simplicity, Consistency & Presence

Some questions to consider as we evaluate our wellness goals and progress:

• Have you made progress towards achieving our goals?
• Are you making time for activities and rituals that bring you joy and relaxation?
• Are you prioritising movement?
• Are you getting enough sleep and staying hydrated?
• Are you eating a balanced diet and getting enough sun light?
• Are you taking time to nourish your mind, body and soul?
• Are you connecting with nature?

If you find that your wellness routine has been lacking in certain areas, don’t be too hard on yourself. Life can be unpredictable and it’s normal to have periods where self-care falls by the wayside. The key is to recognise where you may need to make adjustments and to continue making progress towards achieving your wellness goals.

May you flourish in your pursuit of wellness!

Lots of love and light,
