Self Care Cloud Benefits
- What am I missing? What am I not doing? If I am feeling low, sad, lonely, hurt or stuck, is there something in the cloud I haven’t tried or I’m not doing that could help me?
- What is out of balance? What am I doing too much of, what is weighing me down or pulling me out of alignment. What cloud is overburdened? What cloud is needing attention?
- Where are my strengths? What am I good at? What has worked well in the past that I may have forgotten about or haven’t used recently? What strengths can I use and apply to help me in other areas of my life.
- What is the relationship between my ‘clouds’? How do they influence each other? Is there a transference of ‘power’ between clouds? Is there a system or network of connections behind the scenes of my happiness and life?
- Tip – print out the cloud and use a pen to draw connections and relationships between clouds.
- What’s one thing I can do to improve my self care? What creative thing can I do? What’s an area I want to learn more about and explore? What insights have I learned that will adjust my perspective and life course?
