There’s a lot out of our control right now.
A LOT.
There’s a lot we don’t have any say in, or ability to change. This can be stressful. It can be anxiety-provoking. I hear you. I definitely FEEL you.
But the key to managing this difficult period, is to focus on what you CAN control:

Creating Your Self-Care Regime
Morning walks in nature aren’t cancelled.
In fact, they should become an everyday occurrence for you now.
Spring is coming.
Sending virtual healthy hugs,
This poem has been said to have been written by Maya Angelou, but it is written by none other than the brilliant Pamela Redmond, New York Times-bestselling author of more than 20 books of fiction and nonfiction, including the show that I am binge watching right now, Younger. It’s an honor to have her personally share her poem on EricaDiamond.com today in honor of International Women’s Day.
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE…
On International Women’s Month and International Women’s Day on March 8, being a woman to me means being brave, and being vulnerable. There is strength in showing when you’re hurting or feeling something deeply- because it means you’re open to change. It means you’re evolving. It means that you’re not sliding it under the rug and then one day, erupt.
Being a women to me means being courageous. It doesn’t mean that I won’t fall, but I damn well will dust myself off and get back up. It means resilience personified.
Being a woman to me means caring for my loved ones, but caring for myself too. Women are good at nurturing, but not so good at self-care.
Being a woman means I can be powerful and kind at the same time.
These productivity techniques will keep you on track and happy.
1. Turn Off Alerts
It’s terribly tough to get into your Zen zone when your phone is buzzing every few minutes. Depending on how chatty your phone is, you may get notifications for everything from emails to retweets. It’s essential you shut these notifications off! Trust me, you’ll see efficiency skyrocket once you tell your phone to shut its blabbering mouth.

I’ve been contemplating the end of the decade, and this year, I am offering you something new.
This year, you are the artist of your own blank canvas, and I have offered you a focus for each month to take you through the first year of the new decade.
I have left it vague and fairly open on purpose: this exercise is to get you introspective and intentional.
How Do You Talk To People?
The Practice: Try A Softer Tone.
Why?
When our kids were little, I’d come home from work wanting some peace after the daily roller-coaster and often walk into a living room full of stuff – toy trucks, tennis shoes, bags of chips, etc. At the time, the arrangement my wife and I had was that I’d be primarily responsible for income and she’d be primarily responsible for taking care of the kids, including getting them to pick up after themselves. When we were both home, we divided the housework and child-rearing evenly.
Happy Monday! I am thrilled to share my latest SELF-CARE Infographic with you! My prescription is 30-60 minutes a day of self-care activities.
This is all part of my new talk coming out in 2020 called The Diamond Edge: How To Get What You Want While Giving Yourself What You Need
If you enjoy it, please feel free to share it with someone who needs the reminder to care for themselves.
Have a wonderful Monday, and an early Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends!
