Don Henley

Don Henleys song “Boys of Summer” inspired these 4 segments of Coffee Cup Monday starting three weeks ago going thru today.

The lyrics in the Blog title reminds me of a summer love coming to an end along with the season, which brings me to self-care time.

Even after summer is over and all the rip-roaring running is done, your body is almost telling you that it’s time to reset and rejuvenate.

Thank you Mr. Henley, our “Dog Days of Summer Series” which was inspired by your song, has come to an end with this post.

Self-care

While taking time to reset and rejuvenate, make time for:

  • A Spa Day
  • Rest
  • Reading
  • Gentle Exercise
  • Alone Time
  • Long Walks


If All Else Fails, Go Shopping

Shopping Spree



Summer Dinner For One

Healthy Spa Salad

Learn to love and respect your alone time, you deserve it! Make it a ritual every week to set aside a day all to yourself, you’ll be glad you did. You can’t be good for others until you are good for yourself.

  • Mixed Greens
  • Cherry Tomatoes
  • Corn
  • Boiled Eggs
  • Fresh Shaved Parmesan Cheese
  • Light Vinaigrette Dressing

Serve yourself with some fresh strawberries, turmeric tea, sparkling water and whole grain bread.



Discover Self Love

Remember yourself. In order to care for others, you must start with yourself. Treat yourself the way you want to be treated by others.
