Practicing self-compassion and prioritizing the relationship with oneself are essential for personal growth and well-being.  Creating boundaries around activities that may reinforce false narratives, such as social media, can support mental and emotional well-being.   Prioritizing rest and engaging in activities that nurture physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being can help break free from false narratives.       Connect with Tasha Triana  @TheNurturedNurse on Instagram Connect with Tasha Triana  Follow Lindywell  On Facebook On Instagram
