Thinking about that nuturing thing.
I think that besides the facials, pedicures, etc. that we can "gift" to our selves, our souls need that treatment even more. I'm not a religious person (attn: Please Don't Redirect Me!) but i do consider myself spiritual. Paying attention to that aspect of myself has made me much more content.I meditate, journal, use an inspirational daybook, attend my weekly sobriety meetings... all things that my soul requires to thrive. I try many different things, take what I want from what I see, and work it to suit me. Trusting my instinct has become key to success - and it's been the most difficult work I've done. The fact is that deep down inside, I *do* know what's best for me. If I take the time to reflect instead of immediately react to my anxieties, I feel much better.
