Project Description
Let us live the real work of nourishing ourselves and our communities back to health!
June 16, 2015 – Radical self-care is not simply about eating healthy food, going to a yoga class or getting a good night sleep, although those are no doubt important examples of self-care. Radical self-care is about cultivating the courage and compassion to love yourself, live your truth, and sustain your passion.
Radical self-care is not about trying to be better or changing who you are in any way. It is about waking up to the reality that you are already good enough exactly as you are and allowing the person you were born to be to flourish. Radical self-care is not about adding another “should” to your already unending to-do list. Self-care is about accessing the power to be out in the world expressing your truth and having the keen awareness to know when to take a break and spend time with you inner self. It is about having the wisdom to know when to say no and when to step into a strong yes. Radical self-care is about dancing with vulnerability and strength. It is about knowing that in order to have the capacity to care for others; we must also care for ourselves. To create a more loving world, we must learn to love ourselves. To care for our planet, we must learn to care for ourselves. To cultivate a more peaceful environment we will need to practice conscious communication in our own lives.
