Ep 243: BE-ing self-caring vs DO-ing self-care

DO-ing self-care is the common approach to incorporating self-care into your life. But I'm proposing that BE-ing self-caring is actual the more useful approach.To DO self-care, we have to carve out time to do things that we love. That's not a bad thing at all. But what happens when we don't have the time? What happens when life gets busy or life-y, as it's so prone to do?That's where a relationship of self-caring comes into its own.In this episode you will hear:The difference between DO-ing vs BE-ing self-careThe relationship between BE-ing self-caring and the actions of self-care (because you'll still DO stuff, it's just not the foundation)The choice you need to make to set up this shift in relationship with yourselfThe impact being self-caring has on your relationship with yourself and your nervous system.Mentioned in this episode:Round 2 of SOMA:HOME will run in February 2024.
