self care?
i wanted to thank everyone who replied to my last thread. i honestly didn't expect so many people to respond.
i have a question. how do you have a good relationship with yourself. how can you listen to yourself and your feelings. how do you love yourself with all your flaws and problems.
i would be grateful for all the insight and advice! thank you.
@berryohberry Mindfulness meditation and meta meditation are helpful tools for me. Mindfulness meditation is about slowing down and looking at things with attention starting with your own inner states. Meta meditation is about developing compassion including self compassion. You are with one person 24/7 until you leave this earth, so learning self care is a super important skill. You are the most important person in your world because how you feel and think and treat others all starts with you. By practicing self care you have more internal resources to bring to bear in being there for others. To another human nothing is more precious than your attention. Your attention to yourself in something like mindfulness meditation is love. Hard to explain. Wishing you all the best.
