31: Self Care vs Self Love


Listen Later

Who else sees soooo much about 'Self love' 'Self Care' – go take a bubble bath, drink wine, take time for you, have time away from the kids and ever thought, what is the difference between self love and self care? Well, I'm about to tell you ALLLL about this as I love this topic and how shocked people are of the differences…

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Let's start with Self Care – this is caring for you (and I like to think of this as the external you…the outside) it's a bit like a dog, but make sure they have not matts, bath them, clip their nails and ensure there isn't gunk in their eyes – same goes for you honey.
  • Now, Self Love – THIS IS MY FAVEEEEE this is about loving YOU on the inside. If you're an avid listener which I'm sure you are then you would know I talk about this a lot, that you need to understand who you are on the inside and LOVE that person with everything you have...not just love and care for the outside
  • Both are equally as important, but are different and BOTH need attention.

TOOLS:

  • Let's talk about some Self Care things:
    • Stretching – yoga, gym, walking – physical movement to move your blood!!
    • Relaxing – this is like taking a bath with some delish oils, sitting in the sun for 10 minutes and reading a or magazine
    • Getting your nails done
    • Taking time out to see friends and LAUGH!!!
  • Now, Self Love things are a bit different – they are more emotional like,
    • Loving others, yes, Self love includes loving others. Now, this means doing it without expecting anything in return
    • Treating you inside with respect – listen to what you say to you…are you saying nice things or not? DO you need to change that?
    • With Self Love comes self confidence…How? Because self confidence is thinking of yourself highly, regarding YOU with high importance. Your own perception of you.
