I think that one of the good things to come out of covid was the awareness that most of us can be doing a better job taking care of ourselves.
We see ads and get emails about the importance of self-care, our employers are reminding us of it, and we sign up for classes, get books, and start scheduling time for it.
Long walks, meditation, yoga, sleep, our favorite show, our favorite vacation destination, whatever. It all helps.
For most of us, though, taking care of ourselves mostly means coping with the insecurities, fears, judgments, and triggers baked into our psyche over the decades.
For most of us, self-care means figuring out ways to cope with a life that seems just too hostile and just “too much” at times.
Our limiting self-concepts, our judgments of ourselves and others and life, and our triggers filter EVERYTHING we see, and our self-care practices may not be healing them.
Our self-care routines may be treating the symptoms but not the underlying cause.
We think emotional freedom means the freedom to express our rage, disappointment, and fears AT the people in our lives.
That's not emotional freedom. That's emotional reaction.
We think self-care means phoning it in when we feel triggered or "up against it."
Settling the nerves at those times is self-care, but delaying, resisting, or avoiding dealing with the underlying sources of our triggers within ourselves is self-deception.
Next-level self-care is raising our emotional threshold. It’s showing up with integrity at our deepest levels. It’s clearing the gunk and cobwebs out of the joints of our spirit.
If we never explore and transform the ways we daily betray ourselves, we'll continue betraying ourselves no matter how many spa days we take.
If we never take responsibility for the countless ways we deceive ourselves, we'll continue to point fingers at the world and never fully step into our natural power, wholeness, and beauty.
🔥 The power of integrity, clarity, peace of mind, freedom, and love for life.
🔥 Wholeness of Self, at all levels of our being - mind, heart, body, spirit, and relationships.
🔥 Experiencing the beauty and perfection of our pure, innocent, divinely-gifted, and unadulterated spirit.
See if you can add some freedom from self-deception to your self-care routine. THIS is self-care at ALL levels of our being.
Much Love ❤️
