I’ve been talking a lot about self-care lately. I think it’s pivotal if we have any chance at succeeding in our New Year’s Resolutions. But what is self-care really and how do we start doing it for ourselves?
I struggled with this personally. On the surface, I was eating healthy, exercising and taking my vitamins. I thought I was doing everything right, but I still didn’t feel well. Not until I heard this podcast on a completely different matter that I finally got it.
Tami Simon from the Insights at the Edge podcast talks to biodynamic farmer and beekeeper Jacqueline Freeman about her fascinating relationship with bees. When I listened to what Freeman asked the bees, it taught me an important lesson in self-care.
“Every day, when I would go and see my bees or do something with my bees, I would say this little thing to them. I would say, ‘I am willing to do just about anything to provide you with the best life that you can possibly have. I just don’t know what to do. So it’d be really nice if you could share some wisdom with me.'”
What if we directed this sentiment inwardly? What if we were to say, “I want to do everything I can to give you the best life possible. What do I need to do to help you do this?” Wouldn’t that just change the way you view every decision you made?
