Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall, Where Does My Self-Love Fall

Nurturing Self

Did you know self-nurture and self-care are core parts of who you are? When you begin to self-nurture, you’re caring for self. Just as you have to put your mask on first, you will have to love yourself to practice self-care. Self-care is priceless and should be a top priority on any to-do list. When self-nurturing and self-caring come together, you’ve internally validated self. Consider relaxation a formula for one’s physical and emotional wellness.

There are a variety of ways one nurtures and cares for self, but generally the activity should be done alone to focus on self. These are some simple suggestions:

• Do some mediation while relaxing mind, body, and soul

• Get your eyebrows trimmed or waxed

• Have a hand and foot massage

• Listen to your favorite music

• Pop in a movie and indulge with popcorn or chips

• See a play

• Spend time at the gym working on self

• Spend the day at the beach

• Stay in your pajamas and indulge with strawberries and whipped cream

• Take a nice long hot and soapy bubbly bath with a few scented candles around the tub

• Take a nice long nap

• Take a walk and enjoy the scenery

• Watch cartoons and indulge with some snacks

• What the heck, just do them all!
