Show Notes:

Three Self Care questions are asked, What is self care? What is your biggest struggle with self care? What are your Self Care Pet Peeves? Self Care is a four pronged approach with Body, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual integrations. Self-care for one person isn't going to be self-care for another person. When we practice self-compassion, we speak to ourselves like a good friend. It is important to be mindful around how you are talking to yourself. Self-care is a practical and magical approach to Body, Mind and Soul, including your finances. Self-care is anything that brings you ease. If you think of self-care as your house, your house has a foundation and then you have the walls and the entire structure to store your goodies. Self-knowledge is powerful. Once you know your triggers, you can do a lot of work around how to set yourself up for success. Self-reflection is an important part of setting yourself up for success. The power of vulnerability and importance of boundaries. If you don't reflect on past experiences, you will say yes again to something you don't want to do. Struggle happens when losing track of rituals and routines when things get busy. How a meditation practice can be beneficial. Admitting our struggles is very powerful. The harder it is to meditate, the longer you should meditate. Self-care is 100% necessary to show-up in your life. Tami talks about her experience when the teacher goes back to school. Many people think that self-care is selfish. Back to basics: Living a healthy life is not just working out. It also includes sleeping enough and taking care of the basics. Humans are messy.
