In this episode I explore my working definition of “Self Care” incorporating a model of the 4 different dimensions of balancing self care:
Here I provide my personal insights, recommend tools or explore perspectives from my studies of Counselling.
Other subtopics I discuss:
- The subjective nature of being “Mentally well”
- How Spirituality can look aside from prayer
- Dual relationships and boundaries
- Having a strong emotional support network
- Bringing awareness to “internal cycles”
- How introversion/extroversion plays a role
Song in intro- "Light of the Mountain" by Brandon Tilt
I acknowledge that I learn, grow and heal on the unceded ancestral lands of the Kwikwetlam first nation, the Stolo and the Tseil-Watuth first nations. These lands were never abandoned nor surrendered by those with the ancestral rights to steward and protect these lands.
I honor and respect the elders, the children, the land stewards, the land protectors, the medicine keepers, and the men and women of all indigenous nations.
Huy ch q’u (thank you) to those who support the indigenous communities and actively decolonize their minds and their spirits.
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin, All my relations.
