The Inside-Out Approach to Self-Care

Self-care has become such a buzzword these days. Corporations and businesses have really capitalized on this by providing the public with a whole variety of products centered around self-love. You can easily pick up a facemask or a bath bomb to ‘instantly’ make yourself feel loved.    However, although they might make you feel good, none of these things address the inner self. They’re designed for the external. To really practice self-care, it’s about getting in touch with your needs and wants. You need to work on the ‘self’ and that can be really uncomfortable.    What does self-care really look like? It means taking the time to notice your feelings and putting a label on them throughout the day. That doesn’t always feel good to do. It can actually be hard to recognize what this ‘feeling’ is when you’re so used to just going through the emotions of your day.    Self-care is all about doing things that help us grow and heal. Take an inside approach to your self-care next time you’re having a bad day or just need a day off and see what kind of feelings and emotions arise from it. They might surprise you!    Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
