Self-love is a crucial part of our mental and emotional well-being. It involves accepting yourself for who you are, treating yourself with kindness and compassion, and making sure that your needs are met. In step 1 of this 7 mini-series, we discussed what self-love is. 

In this episode, Bettina, your host, dives into the second step, which involves acting on what you need rather than just what you want. At times, it can be challenging to differentiate between what we need and what we want. Needs are necessities essential for our survival and well-being, while wants are desires we can live without. For instance, food and water are needs, while ice cream and cake are wants. Understanding the difference between the two is critical, as it helps us to prioritize our well-being. 

Taking care of yourself is the most important thing you can do for yourself because it allows you to be the best version of yourself. By prioritizing your needs, you boost your self-esteem, improve your mood, and enhance your physical and emotional health.

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.

During this episode, you will learn about;

[00:30] Intro and what in for you in today’s show

[01:25] Paying attention to self, you are the most important part of the equation

[02:56] Physical danger and situations that can be unhealthy for our physical needs

[05:56] Placing yourself in situations that can best serve you

[07:36] Emotional needs and how they change the sense of community

[09:44] How to handle your emotions without becoming them

[10:37] Spiritual awareness and connecting to the divine

[12:56] The four zones of intention and attention

[15:05] Wrap up and end the show 

• It is pretty easy to evaluate whether or not we are in a safe situation or not.
• If you don't make your health a priority, who will? No one.
• Taking care of your physical needs helps you take care of other physical needs that you know you need.
• Giving and taking in a relationship is one thing, but it is not an assignment for people; one person is not the giver, while the other is the taker.
• What we suppress will eventually arrest us; it will arrest our time, our passion, and our life.

Have you ever asked yourself who you are, what you are, what your goals are, and what your achievements are? For most of us, our identity is often linked to things outside ourselves. Whether you define yourself with labels such as the mom, wife, caregiver, family member, or the white sheep or black sheep in the family, who you truly are has very little to do with anything else besides who you are as a person. Your identity does not necessarily have to be linked to a job or the family you came from because they are not who you are. Defining your true identity starts with self-awareness, and it comes from within.

Join the conversation with your host Bettina as she explores the facets of being your true self, from understanding who you are at your core to developing strategies for embodying that in the everyday. Learn how to live a more meaningful life that is in alignment with who you are in your roles and occupations. 

During this episode, you will learn about:

[00:01] Intro and what in for you in today’s show

[00:53] What living a life true to who you are looks like 

[03:05] Being your true self starts with self-awareness 

[03:58] The power of connection to something greater on your identity 

[05:40] How to be your true self in all roles and occupations you have

[07:53] Accepting your strength and weakness and using them to your benefit 

[12:16] How being true to yourself look like when you acknowledge all these steps

[16:10] Figuring out what is important to you and showing up 

• When we believe that we are part of something bigger, that belief gives us a sense of purpose and identity
• You cannot understand the value of life without recognizing the value of your own.
• The body is infinitely wise, and it knows if we’re in alignment or not. 
• It is hard to feel whole when you cannot differentiate yourself from another person or a situation.

How often have you heard you have to love yourself more, care about yourself more, and put yourself first? These are phrases of self-care and self-love that we hear everywhere. But what exactly does self-love look like or mean?
 Self-love starts with being mindful of where and how you are feeling. It is not how others say you're feeling or what you think you should be feeling but how you feel at that exact moment. The number one thing is to stop for a moment and be aware of what your body is telling you.

Join the conversation with your host Bettina as she shares what self-love looks like. Learn how to build deeper connections with yourself and others, through self love. Let go of anger, and guilt and stop pulling out instances of your past that are not self-love. You are human, and start living intentionally.

Motivation, inspiration, and discipline are the building blocks of success. Without these three qualities, it is difficult to stay focused and follow through on your goals, dreams, or relationships. They are the driving force behind success in all aspects of life. But what truly keeps us inspired, motivated, and disciplined? The answer lies within the power of writing our dreams down and employing the willpower and discipline we already possess. This will enable you to determine and clarify what you want to achieve, set realistic targets, and stay focused on your goals, no matter how small or large.

Join the conversation with your host Bettina as she shares more about the power trio and how motivation, inspiration, and discipline shape your success. Learn how to pull together tactics, strategies, education, and life experiences to make your dreams a reality. Your dream matters.

During this episode, you will learn about;

[09:37] Ending the show 

• Motivation is pulling someone, while inspiration is an internal push.
• When you focus on one thing, you can achieve that one thing you want to achieve.
• None of us need more discipline; we need to employ the discipline we’ve more effectively.
• Our brain works better right after we wake up and right after we’ve eaten because it takes power. 
• It’s important to recognize and be aware of how your body works and use that to help you stay motivated and follow through on things you’re inspired to do and be. 
•  When you write down your dream and carry it with you, the weight of those words will be on your heart, mind, and spirit; the more you’re linked to it, the more difficult it’s to turn away.
