A world in which self-care has to be such a trendy topic is a world that is sick. Self-care should not be something we resort to because we are so absolutely exhausted that we need some reprieve from our own relentless internal pressure.

True self-care is not salt baths and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from.

And that often takes doing the thing you least want to do.

“It often means looking your failures and disappointments square in the eye and re-strategizing. It is not satiating your immediate desires. It is letting go. It is choosing new. It is disappointing some people. It is making sacrifices for others. It is living a way that other people won’t, so maybe you can live in a way that other people can’t….”
– Brianna Wiest

Self-care, is self-love… but to truly do this, we need to make contact with a deeper sense of self. Authentic and true. Uncomplicated and full of wisdom. We do this through our practice – first stop meditation (daily).

Otherwise, what we find is the ego ‘small’ self is running us ragged and has us filling our cup with all the wrong things – it will never be satisfied for long with anything we accumulate and achieve. We often get in a state where we just need a break. The ultimate goal is to build a relationship with ourselves and a life we don’t need to regularly escape from.
