A prelude to our first Self-Care Exploration Series (starting next week, March 20th ✨)
Before we get started on this episode, I want you to know that it's a prelude to a series that we're going to dive into starting next week around self-care & our unique journey to caring for ourselves in every stage.
Today, I'd love for you to consider: What is your current definition of self-care?
As you think about that for yourself, also consider if you're seeking a specific outcome when you practice self-care...
What I mean by that is...doing something for yourself in hopes that you will feel differently afterward, or in hopes that you'll rid a certain feeling (like disappointment or anger or grief), or maybe, hope that if you engage in self-care, your hardships will disappear.
If you haven't thought about self-care in this way, and this is being introduced to you for the first time in this conversation, it's okay to not have the answer to this.
When it comes to self-care, it's helpful to create a sliding scale for days where you're feeling 'low energy' and days when you feel on top of the world. We are going to explore that together in the next few weeks...honoring our uniqueness and what we truly need to feel rejuvenated 💫
PS. One of the best ways that we get to learn about ourselves is by hearing other perspectives & noticing what we agree with or what we disagree with...or what feels easy for us & what feels hard for us.
If we just live in one lens, the lens of ourselves, we only see one specific way.
So, I'll be really curious to hear how this episode sits with you...let me know by finding me on IG (@kristine.axe) or by joining The Pivotal Collective (the best place to receive ongoing mentorship & guidance)
I'll look forward to seeing you for the first part of our Self-Care Series on the first day of Spring.
