Self-care: care for oneself
For a few months I’ve been shifting my focus to self-care due to some physical challenges. Nothing life threatening, but challenging none the less.
In my enthusiasm and passion for the work I love (coaching & writing), I’d been spending increasingly more time at my desk, focusing on my mind and forgetting the body and spirit part of the system.
Here’s what my body reminded me of. . .
It’s not about what you know, it’s about how you live and the choices you make each day.
Ouch. They say we teach what we most need to learn, and I’m getting the message loud and clear!
Brene Brown says that calm is the ability to manage your emotional reactivity.
Calm is a superpower.
Truth is, it’s pretty tough to manage your reactivity when you don’t feel resourceful or when you’re body’s in crisis.
The shift to focusing on myself, specifically my body has not been easy and it doesn’t come naturally to me.
My tendency is usually to focus on and be there for others, and I know I’m not alone in this.
Friends, family, clients – I hear it often – everyone is challenged by the daunting task of taking care of ourselves.
Why is that?
