Why Nurture Yourself?



It’s important to take care of yourself through your healing journey. If you aren't taking time to provide yourself with self care you risk suffering from emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental exhaustion. If you become exhausted you are unable to continue on your journey you become stuck in a dark place, where healing can’t continue. It is important to think of your healing self as a little girl. Would you tell a little girl she wasn't worth love, compassion, patience and care? Treat yourself as you would a young child.

Physical self-care is an area that people often overlook

  • Food
  • Sleep
  • Exercise
  • Medical Care
  • Personal Hygiene 

Emotional self-care will mean different things for different people. It might mean:

  • Counselling
  • Support Groups
  • Keeping a Journal
  • Meditation or relaxation exercise
Emotional self-care can also involve the people around you. It’s important to make sure that the people in your life are supportive.
