So often our thought life is full of imaginings, dreams and fancies that cause satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, the thoughts may not be factual. Our thoughts are also influenced by experiences and ingrained beliefs. This affects our ability to engage in healthy interactions. So, how does one deliver emotional self-care in a meaningful way?

Taking good care is more than a spa day or a day spent with friends, although those activities are fun and revitalizing. Taking good care requires introspective action that may be challenging and uncomfortable.
