SELF LOVE
what society tells us it means to be loving to ourselves maybe the expectations that were put upon us as children maybe you've never really explored the topic maybe it's been about taking care of others and not really taking care of yourself so what things would mean to you that you're loving yourself and taking care of yourself taking a nap can be a way to show yourself love if you're exhausted i had to do a lot of that particularly at the end of last year virus i got it gosh over 20 years ago and i've really had forgotten i'd push myself so far and so hard for so long traveling to support my mom and doing that a third of the month that i was exhausted and so taking a nap with self-love big time i enjoy a bubble bath that is a way for me to completely relax i'm working on like
my shoulders get hunched so i'm working on how can i relax so loving myself is enjoying a bubble bath you know i'm doing this plant medicine class mindfully sipping tea that's a way to love myself just slowing down taking a moment being intentional cuddling with a pet can be a way to love yourself and you love your pet and it's reciprocal and it's really nice watching a comedy maybe right now you're like man this has been it's still with everything up in the air and what's gonna happen maybe the most loving thing you can do is watch a comedy right now let yourself go not think about anything and just crack up walking can be really loving getting your heart moving getting exercise going being outside being in nature hugging a tree
when you just feel down and feel the love of the tree back maybe you need to cry and that might your intuitive response might be whoa i'm trying to love myself but maybe you need to have a good cry maybe you need to scream and express your anger being and honoring your emotions is loving yourself perhaps you need to end a friendship you need supportive people around you and loving yourself means having a boundary and saying no more i'm not gonna allow this i'm not okay with this right after you stop listening this podcast how can you show yourself love can be as simple as giving yourself a hug or looking in the mirror and saying i love you what about tomorrow how can you show yourself love how can you show yourself this week this month how can you begin to incorporate more self-love into your life how can you make it a priority to love yourself more
what is it that you can do maybe you put on your calendar i used to put a little i did this really intense breathing exercise and needed to do gosh was it a year so i didn't want to get caught up in being like oh it's a to do and i don't want this to be a oh it's a to-do for you so maybe on your calendar you just put a little l like a little l with the circle oh reminder how can i give myself love today make it fun make it something that you try different things don't make it something like this feels like i have to do it because then that defeats the whole purpose today i just want you to think about how you can love yourself more and how you're going to bring that into your life and what it means to give yourself love just remember to think beyond maybe
