182. Take Care of Your Heart: How to Grow Self-Compassion and Self-Love

How might you care for your heart? What if you made your relationship with yourself your primary focus?   This episode focuses on heart-centered approaches to life, love, and health. We discuss why we are committed to growing love, practicing love, and celebrating love.  We outline what you can do to care for your heart – physically, spiritually, and emotionally.   We share how to grow self-compassion and we offer acts of kindness, self-acceptance, self-compassion and self-love. Practicing mindfulness and meditation is caring for your heart. "Not only can meditation improve how your heart functions, but a regular practice can enhance your outlook on life and motivate you to maintain many heart-healthy behaviors, like following a proper diet, getting adequate sleep, and keeping up regular exercise." Dr. John Denninger, Director of Research at the Harvard-affiliated Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. Exercise and eating well are caring for your heart.
