Summary of Podcast: 10 Practices to living with more awareness and intention Part 2 (00:35) I'm in Cartagena and Bogota, Colombia this week with my husband. We have an annual tradition to travel over one of our birthdays, as they are a week apart. I'm hoping you can hear the birds in the background as I record this podcast live from outside. (1:57) "Oh lord it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way!" Oh vulnerability, humility and pride. Vulnerability is allowing ourselves to be accessible, exposed and ready. (3:43) Self-love has so much depth to it; So much so that I like to narrow it down to two practices: caring about oneself and taking responsibility for oneself. And I believe you have to learn how to do the first (caring), before you can act on the second (taking responsibility). (5:55) When I think of giving myself grace, I think of allowing myself to be refined because I know I am human and therefore I know I am imperfect. With each allowance of grace that we give ourselves, all the sharp edges (our imperfect), begin to be polished into something smoother. ••••• Visit the Be You and Thrive website and connect with 'D' and an authentic community of women! www.beyouandthrive.com Providing educational & insightful resources for women—by women. • • • Be You and Thrive is cultivating an authentic community of women who join together to encourage, empower, offer hope and ignite bravery.
