Happiness Through Self-Care

If you loved yourself, life would be a lot easier. Many people suffer from poor self-esteem. Too many others are merely unconcerned about themselves.

When was the last time your mother inquired about yourself-care'? Are you able to honestly state that you are?

We often put too much pressure on ourselves or have unrealistic expectations of ourselves. We are continuously striving to achieve our objectives, and we punish ourselves if we fall short of perfection.

Is it any surprise that we are frequently exhausted, undernourished, and depressed?

What a difference it would make if you invested time in your well-being. If you surrounded yourself with people who cared about you, if you took breaks from time to time, and if you told yourself you were doing well.

What if you truly adored yourself and were content with what you had?

Simply said, you'd be satisfied. You'd be more contented, healthier, and happier. And that sensation would radiate from you, affecting everyone with whom you came into contact.

What's the best way to get from here to there?

We'll see in this book that a two-pronged attack is required. We must change our ways of thinking and think about ourselves, as well as the way we care for ourselves. What we consume, how we spend our time, and how we manage our environment are all factors to consider.

I liken it to taking care of oneself the way a mother would take care of her children. This includes not just taking care of yourself physically, such as grooming, feeding, and ensuring that everything else is in order, but also taking care of yourself emotionally. A good mother will tell you not to worry and that you're wondering when you're down. The world would be a better, gentler place if we treated ourselves like this and assimilated that type of love.

Each chapter in this book will focus on one of these elements, and by the conclusion, we'll have a self-care plan that will nourish both our bodies and our spirits!
