(Step 1 of 7 in Mini-Series) What does self-love look like?
We get a lot of information about what interests people, how they think, and what they are struggling with by observation. However, paying attention is critical. It is the first thing anyone in law enforcement and the military learns. Unfortunately, we pay too much attention to what is happening around us, whether that is in school, grocery stores, or church, and we forget to pay attention to the most critical person in the equation, ourselves. When we stop the busyness of being aware of all our surroundings, the people in the spheres of influence, and the dangers around us all the time, we can slow down and recognize the chat that is going on in our minds, go inwards, and show ourselves some love.
Join the conversation with your host Bettina as she delves deeper into the topic of self-love, the importance of going in what, and cultivating your self-awareness. When we turn inward, get our self-awareness together, and accept that it is okay to have needs, desires, and wants, we can take care of ourselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Being in a place where you can take care of yourself on all three levels, physical, emotional, and spiritual, is the most selfish thing that you can do that can allow you to be a healthy selfless person.
