There is one important task that will allow your mind to stay clear, plus it will fuel positivity and increase your mental health.

For those reasons, this one activity should be at the top of your Self-Compassion to-do list, if not each day, then at least once a week.

What is it?

The simple act of decluttering.

Decluttering can instantly reduce your stress and stimulate your brain to promote high productivity.

In this episode of Coffee with Colleen, I’ll share the three scientifically backed things that happen in your brain when you declutter, and share a few tips on how your brain will benefit from decluttering starting today.

Setting the right goals is always the first step to starting anything new—including a self-care plan. Goals give you clarity and allow you to accomplish things easily and directly.

Without proper goals, you will stay on the same path. As Albert Einstein famously said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

Sadly, many people dream, but never set short-term or long-term goals in order to fulfill those dreams.
When it comes to self-care, five practices have been shown to be the easiest to implement with the greatest long-term benefit.
In this episode of Coffee with Colleen, I’ll share the top 5 self-care activities you can start today that will lead to a happier and healthier you.

Are you guilty of *not* making Self-Compassion a priority? Make today the day you START making it a top priority! In today's episode, I share four ways that you can make self-compassion a priority in your life. But first, think about the last time you let someone else (or work demands) take control of your day. Remember: If you don't put self-compassion first, you won't tell loved ones (or work demands) 'no' when it is most important.

What is your idea of success? Have you included Self-Compassion in your plan? If not, how do you plan to go about it now? While success has a variable meaning depending on who you ask, it doesn't discount that Self-Care is required to get there. Through Self-Compassion, you discover yourself and build your strengths and power through resilience to lead a more successful life. In addition, it gives you the tools to be mentally and physically healthy and more in all areas of life.

Implementing a proper Self-Compassion plan means it should be crafted specifically for you and your short-term and long-term goals. It requires understanding who you are and what you want from life and taking consistent daily action with mindfulness, momentum, and determination.

Adding Self-Compassion to your daily routine is far easier than you think. In fact, if Self-Compassion feels like a daunting chore, then you may be doing something a little wrong. Remember that picking the right goals for yourself is important. What works for someone else might not work for you. Authenticity is key—especially if you are trying to add new habits to your life. IN this episode of Coffee with Colleen, I’ll share 5 activities that successful people have as part of their self-care routine that you might like to add to your daily schedule.
