Self Care is Self Love in Action - Interviewing Emilie Rawlings
Welcome to episode 11 of We Connect!
In this episode Amy speaks to Emilie Rawlings, creator, author and self-love advocate. Emilie talks about her book (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Foundation-Mindfulness-Meditation-Emilie-Rawlings/dp/B08R9M2FFF) and discusses with Amy how to live mindfully, how to take care of your needs and to love yourself.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
What is in your cup is yours and what overflows is everyone else’s. This is a mantra Amy believes in and wants to share the ethos behind this with everyone.
Self-care is self-love in action. If we are able to love ourselves it will look like practicing good and frequent self-care. Emilie's journey to self-care started 7 years ago after seeking out help by seeing a counsellor. She found self-care by necessity.
The people around Emilie started to notice and be inspired by the journey she was on. Her mental health was so much better, she was starting to feel like she was healing, from her stress, her anxiety and her OCD. This is when she decided to write her book.
Emilie's book has personal stories in but she describes it as a ‘blueprint’ so others can find the calm, peace and love she has managed to discover.
It’s so easy to fall into the trap of overworking in a lot of Western cultures. It can be seen to be good to be busy all of the time we often “glamourize the grind“, but it actually means that you end up not focusing or doing a good job on the things that matter and many of us then become overwhelmed and burnt out. This was the case for Emilie, she also found that she would use being busy as an excuse for a variety of situations.
One of the techniques Emilie first used when starting to practice mindfulness was taking a course called “mindfulness for stress relief” which is widely recognised as having a scientific basis and being a versatile treatment method for those suffering from stress.
BEST MOMENTS
“Take care of ourselves first because it’s an inside job…if we are able to fill our cups then we are able to fill up the cups of others”
“Self-care is self-love in action”
“Mood Connect came out of that idea, the shift and the change from the pandemic...we were on this place of what do we do now, it forced me to get quiet and to just be with myself”
“When somebody does something amazing I like to give a bit of a shout out to the teachers”
