Debbie's Weekly "Food for Thought" 02/12/24 - Self-Compassion

Happy Valentines or Galentines to you all.

I know this is one of those holiday's you either love or hate, but regardless of which one, all have the potential to involve chocolate!, 

You may receive it as a gift, work with it, or buy it half price on the 15th.  So if chocolate is your thing, make sure you have a plan, because after this one day, you still need to "Love yourself".

"Self-Care", has a lot more awareness than it used to, and I believe we are all getting better about taking care of ourselves, for example: getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, eating better, hydrating, and being more mindful.  However Self-care and Self-Compassion are very different from each other, and we tend to ignore the Self-compassion aspect of our journey.

Our topic this week is "LOVE YOURSELF".  I can't wait to see you all at the workshops and share the love with each other.  For insight into this great topic (A new way to respond to setbacks), go to your Connect group and view the posting made on Sunday, which has the link to read more. 

It's so easy to be critical of ourselves when things don't go the way we planned, but just like the superbowl yesterday, both teams gave it their all, they really brought their "A" game, they had heart and dedication and the passion to fight for what they wanted, but there cannot be two winners, but just because one team won, it doesn't mean the other team failed, it was just a result and not a judgement.  It's funny when we put into perspective other events or results, we can easily give grace and compassion, but if you blow your points, skip out on your workout, or forget to track, we become very self-critical and sometimes even cruel and mean to ourselves, so this week we all need to practice more "Self-Compassion".  After all, what would you say to a friend in the same situation?

Be careful what you say to yourself, as YOU ARE LISTENING.

Much love as always
