A Quickie?
Susan Kim
I’m excited to see the launch of a Compass MAP designed through a collaboration between myself and the wonderful minds of Compass.
It is called, “Taking Care of Self.”
If you have ever wanted to achieve better balance, improve health and happiness in your life, this is definitely a Self Care program you do NOT want to miss!
What I think is the best about the Compass MAP is that it is a structured program that takes you through a process over 20 days. . . or 4 weeks. Why is this important?
Lasting change does not happen overnight.
It is a process that takes commitment and energy over time.
There is no “quickie” for lasting well-being or health.
TAKE ACTION! TIP
Instead, take a “quickie” of just 10 minutes for yourself each day.
If you’d like to improve your Self Care, commit to giving yourself at least 30 days and dedicating at least 10 minutes each day toward your goal.
Look at your Self Care goals – lose weight, eat healthier, exercise, meditate, etc. Take just one of these goals and decide where you would like to be in 30 days – make it realistic. Then, for the next 30 days, determine what you will do for 10 minutes each day to achieve your goal.
PS - To find out more about Compass MAP, simply click the “Compass MAP” link on the page and take advantage of the August program, as I lead you through the process of “Taking Care of Self.”
Make Happiness Yours,
Susan

Hi Susan!
Wonderful inspiration to remind us that baby steps and intention are so important in reaching our goals. Ten minutes a day is so very do-able! Breaking it up into this brief yet powerful ten minutes, we can redefine ourselves as ultra-capable and trust ourselves to move in the directions of our dreams.
Wow, it makes you wonder what ELEVEN minutes will do! This is exciting!

Susan - I LOVE this MAP! This is just the extra nudge I needed to take steps toward more harmony in my life on a daily basis. The concept of Aloha really expresses what I’ve been struggling to put into words for a while. I can definitely spare 10 minutes a day to focus on ME.
Interesting about my “Ahhhhh Moment”. I totally went back to when I was a child and my mom was taking care of me. It’s so natural for us to nurture others…why not ourselves? Maybe we’re just conditioned by the examples our own mothers provided - my mom was always the last person on her list. It’s easy to slip into the pattern. The question is whether or not we want to stay there…I choose to choose differently!
Thanks for helping me turn my focus to the woman in the mirror. : )

Your Very Welcome!
And you bring up a very good point. WE learn about Self Care from those around us, particularly our role models: parents, siblings, mentors, etc.
It is important for us to Role Model Healthy Self Care practices for those WE love and who will take after OUR lead as well. . . like our children.
With Aloha,
Susan

Just remember - Current “habit” studies show that while it takes a few weeks to create a habit, it only takes 3 days of slacking to break it! Then you have to start all over again creating that habit. (Stupid brain.)
So, in addition to taking the long view of creating a healthy self-care habit, remember to keep a firm grip on maintaining consistency!
