What is Self Love?

The dictionary translation - a regard for one's own well-being and happiness.

But what does this actually look and feel like in the reality of day to day life in the modern masculine world?

I read and talk a lot with the sisters in my life about Self Love - and like most women I am exploring what it means to genuinely love myself on a moment to moment basis - but how does a woman truly embody this kind of love when the masculine paradigm she lives within consistently tells her that she isn't enough? Not enough until she loses weight, enhances her breasts and arse in some way, has a baby, a pumping career and successfully juggles both at the same time with ease and perfection? (and this, ladies, is just the tip of the iceberg!)

Are you still glorifying busy?

Are you rushing and racing from one thing to the next never really fully arriving or experiencing the moment you were rushing towards (because you are already moving again)?

Does this state of perpetual urgency leave you feel chronically stressed, anxious, overwhelmed and disconnected to your life and to the essence of WHO YOU ARE?

Sweetheart - you are not alone.

The pace of modern life is asking much of women as we endlessly strive to keep all our balls in the air ( in an effort to prove our value and worth), and so the burn out, deep exhaustion and a plethora of health issues are still sadly rising as we push and add more 'stuff' and 'things' to our day.

Life as a woman can be H A R D.

We are precariously juggling so many things in the air at once it truly is no surprise that women's health is in crisis. Over-committed, multi-tasking and stretched to the limit women are drowning in stress induced burn-out, exhaustion and a plethora of health issues now more than ever before.

What do you think might happen if you stopped/dropped everything for a moment and allowed yourself space to simply pause, breathe and BE?

Would the world come crashing down - you along with it?
Would you not ticking something off your to-do list have tragic consequences?
Would your business crumble and fade into oblivion?
Would the washing/dishes (insert menial chore here) pile up and never get done?

Would life as you know it go on?

Seriously though, what WOULD happen if you took some time out for you - if you gave YOU the same energy you give your family, business, social media or whatever it is that consumes most of your attention and focus?
