Put you first – self care versus selfish. Somewhere along the way you decided that taking time for yourself was selfish. I know, because I spent most of my life doing it. I would put the kids first, put my husband first, put my clients first, put my boss first, put making money first, even put the cat first!
Know your needs! Do you really know what you need? What is the difference between what you want and what you need? We aren’t talking about survival needs. What are you physical needs? Are you eating right? Are you sleeping enough? Are you getting enough exercise and fresh air? Share in the comments how you are doing with your physical needs.
What are emotional needs? Are you feeling your feelings?
What is y our spiritual practice? Do you feel sad and lonely? Do you wish your partner loved you more? If they would only just do THIS right or THAT right, then you would feel loved? It’s the same with happiness.
CONNECTION makes us feel loved.
Connection is everything
Well, it is a LIE that you are not connected to EVERYTHING all the time.
Please stop judging yourself! Find the part of you that is kind and gentle! The judgment comes from thinking in terms of right or wrong. You’re not right or wrong. Where did you learn that? As if there is a right way to be!
What do you need to release the past? What story are you still hanging in to that you repeat to yourself and others that you can’t seem to let go of? This is one thing I love about having a Facebook group. We can share things that aren’t working and what are to support each other. Some of us a so connected to ALL things, and when I say that, it may even mean everything that ever was, is, and will ever be. Empaths feel EVERYTHING!
