"Self-care is giving the world the best of you instead of what's left of you." - Katie Reed
Focusing on Balanced Beginnings
Self-care is so much more than mere indulgence; it's the art of nurturing our own physical, mental, and emotional health so that we can flourish daily from a place of inner strength and abundance.
While there are many opportunities to practice self-care throughout the day, this month, we're focusing on #BalancedBeginnings. We put ourselves first and fill our cups to the brim so that we can be ready to share with others without running dry.
You run the risk of running dry when:
- You consistently prioritize others' needs over your own, neglecting your well-being or,
- Traumatic circumstances and events become all-consuming, draining your emotional and mental resources.
The Importance of Self-Care
Self-care is not selfish. It's necessarily important! When we put our well-being first, we are stronger and more energetic. This translates as being UNSTOPPABLE with the dawn of each day.
There are three important reasons why you should make self-care a top priority:
- You Deserve It: The feeling you experience when practicing self-care is immediately transformative. Whether you jog, walk, journal, or meditate, you'll notice a natural glow within, reflecting the love and attention you've given yourself. Others notice it, too! You feel better, and it shows.
- Your Children are Watching: Liz Carlile (featured in the Stepping Stones newsletter this month-scroll to the end of this blog to subscribe) shares how, in a moment of overwhelm, she remembered and built on the wisdom her mother imparted to her as a child about self-care.
- You are Designed to be Fruitful and Multiply: Just as a tree cannot bear fruit without nourishment, you cannot produce and grow if you are emotionally, mentally, or physically drained. Self-care is tapping into your wellspring of energy from which you can draw to grow, create, and distribute.
