#Self-love: it’s everywhere on the social media. Including pictures of hot baths and nail appointments. It’s absolutely magnificent that more and more men and women are paying attention to their own well-being and happiness. They are looking for ways to nurture themselves and to end exhaustion. Wonderful! It’s not the whole story though.
Showing up for yourself
True self-love is bringing to life what is inside of me. Creating what I want to create. And yes, that includes work, mainly inner work. Self-love is showing up for myself and dealing with my self-doubt so that I have the courage to write another 500 words of my second book. Self-love is dedicating myself to my morning routine, as I know that it will help me to be a powerful creator during the rest of the day. An act of self-love is also protecting myself when a co-worker is overloading me with all of her Covid-frustration. I don’t let myself be carried away by her emotions and take the time to process my irritation and my judgement – oh yes, those feelings are there too. Big time. Breathe and release, Carolien. Just breathe and release.
