We are on part two of our Space Care series. If you haven’t listened to part one I would definitely recommend talking there because that is going to give you the first two phases that really help all of this make sense and we also talk about mental health. 







Today we are going to talk about phases 3 and 4 of space care. In a season of busyness, we need to take time to take care of ourselves, and taking care of ourselves also looks like taking care of our environment and making sure it is set up to support us.

[08:18 ] 2 questions to focus on in the nurturing phase 







There are a few questions in the journal that help you dive into this. What are some goals you have for your home? If this is challenging for you because you've never set goals for your home then take time to unpack why that is.  So first I would dive into that conversation with yourself around whatever goals you have for your house and if you don't have any, what are some tangible things that you want to achieve in your space as we enter the new year?
