Welcome to this week's self-compassion video.
The final entry in my 4-part series on "The Four
P's" that its wise to acknowledge to we can engage in good compassionate, self-care. Last week, we talked about Perfectionism.
Today's video features #4: Lack of Passion
We are passionate about so many things, but are we passionate about our own well-being? When you're busy and too tired, it's hard to get juicily jazzed about taking good care of yourself. When stress hits, sometimes it's just easier to turn on the TV and eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's! A choice like this might feel like nurturing in the moment but, in the long-run, it's not a kind choice at all.
Cultivating passion for ourselves involves making choices
that bring deep care, respite, and even joy. It's ok to be passionate about "Me Time." Everyone else gets a slice of your time, how about you? It is up to us to find the right amount of time we need to refuel and replenish ourself, otherwise we will end up depleted and, ultimately, unhappy. Who wants that?
May you find ways to en-joy your luscious self, today, OK?
Love and blessings,
Jan
