10 Ways to Nourish yourself
Last post titled "Failure to Launch Or..." discussed why some adults are having a hard time moving on and getting to the next stage, be it emotional, psychological, relationship or career choices. The way to move forward and onward is by looking inside to see what is needed. Usually there is an unmet need, and when responded to, can help shift the inner workings of ones thoughts, subsequent choices and essentially create change.
One of the foundational necessities for moving forward with life goals is having a strong basis of self love and well developed sense of self. A clarity, an inner ease and a confidence that comes along with that. A vital ingredient to becoming that kind of person is Self-Love.
Self love is a term that we all hear getting thrown around today. "Fall in love with yourself", "Why don't you know how to love yourself?" "How do you expect someone to love you if you don't know how to love yourself". These are all well meaning suggestions to guiding you towards a life that feels better.
