Do you love yourself? Are you actively creating space to show yourself love? Or does the whole idea make you uncomfortable? Whether you believe it or not, it's important to make sure you show yourselves love by taking care of yourself; you can't begin to take care of others if your own well-being is neglected.
Join me this week as I talk about two of the most common ways we can show ourself love; self-care and affirmations. In this episode I cover:
- What self-care is and is not,
- The various areas of self-care we want to attend to and
- The benefits and challenges of engaging in self-care
I will also end the episode with a few affirmations for you to tell yourself on the regular; giving yourself reminders that will encourage you to keep going!
Be sure to check out the image for the areas of self-care and the self-care assessment to ensure your self-care process is well-rounded.
