Reimagine, Recalibrate and Renew Your Relationship with Care
About the Episode:
I’m popping in for another solo episode. And I have a question for you. Do you ever feel like you’re failing at self-care?
I’m curious… because I feel like so many of us struggle to integrate self-care into our lives. And then we feel guilty or bad about ourselves because it becomes another item on the todo list that we didn’t get to…
Today, I want to explore why so many of us feel that way. And also offer some ideas on ways that we can begin to shift our perspective and relationship with care. To begin to reimagine, recalibrate and renew our relationship with care.
So that we can feel empowered to make our care a priority.
In today’s episode I share:
My twist and reframe on self-care as restorative care which includes a healthy dose of self-compassion.
The history of self-care so that we can compare it to our current understanding and relationship with care.
Why I don’t believe you are failing as an individual at self-care.
Some ideas on ways we can begin to reimagine, recalibrate and renew our relationship with our care.
I’d love to hear your thoughts!! Please let me know in the comments below.
