Jac: People tend to struggle with nurturing themselves. And this goes for men and women—men need to take care of themselves too.

Jeri: That’s so true. Why do you think it’s such a struggle?

Jac: A big part of it is that we are overwhelmed with the craziness of life and, consequently, we constantly put ourselves on the back burner… We tend to think we should do all of the things, plus be everything for everyone—always putting everyone else before ourselves.

Plus, we tend to judge ourselves when we put ourselves first, because we see it as selfish.

Jeri: The culture does seem to insist that it’s Christlike to put other people’s needs above your own… but that concept gets so twisted! We can’t do much to help others if we don’t fill our own bucket first!

It is so important to stop and breathe… pay attention to what the body is telling you before it shuts down!

Jac: Amen to that. I mean… it makes us feel good to be like Superman or Wonder Woman for a time, but getting ourselves worked up to the point of burnout is not helpful as it brings us down to the point of feeling weak or sick… or to find ourselves getting injured.

At that point, we aren’t any good to anyone, and our self-nurturing becomes necessary for survival. 

Jeri: I’ve been there!

And we are betting you have to… If you are ready to clear your false beliefs surrounding self-care, and to start genuinely nurturing yourself so that you can fulfill your purpose/mission in life, see the dose of enlightenment below!

Love from Jeri and Jac

Since we promised to treat you to an extra dose of light in your inbox, we include a Dose of Enlightenment for you at the end of each newsletter. We value your agency, so it’s up to you whether or not you receive it!

This Dose of Enlightenment is a frequency equation meant to clear a hidden and trapped emotion that you’ve been holding onto. 

If today's emotion is one that we have already cleared, know that we are addressing a different layer or situation this time.

*******************************************************

Today’s emotion is: not nurturing self

How does this emotion apply to you? For best results, ponder this question and identify how not nurturing self applies to you.

Dose of Enlightenment: 88 + 912 = E

Say it out loud with intent: “eighty-eight plus nine-twelve equals enlightenment.” 

Breathe. Let it go. Feel the shift. Allow your body to be filled with light.
