My body has been speaking to me all my life, I just had the volume button turn down 18 years ago. And now the volume is  And now the volume is turned up and I fully hear and acknowledge what my body has to say and what she needs from me without judgement. 

But what I have learnt through my own experiences is this: 

The more you learn to put yourself first, nurturing your own body, heart and soul giving to yourself and your body first, 

The more you have to give to those important to you when you do this 

Recharging your body and your mind is self-care and I know self-care means different things to each of us I came up with what self-care meant to me 

My definition of self-care has evolved over the years and the amount of self-care my body needs and what it asks for has shifted.  

What I learnt was that the more self-care I allow, the more I had to give from a place of love and joy when my tank is full instead of giving from a place of lack, frustration and resentment  

There is a permission piece we have to give ourselves especially as women, that it's ok to fill us up first, it's ok to nourish our bodies, it's ok to recharge especially if you are used to giving to others first 

Only you can give yourself permission to care for yourself 

I am fiercely protective now of my self-care now because I understand how important it is to my body, my health and how I show up 

If this post is pushing a button in you, ask yourself: "What is this triggering in you right now and why?" 

Surrounding ourselves with other women who model this beautifully helps us reflect on where our self-care can evolve or change 

This is something that I have done over the years 

So, your body has something to say to you: 

"Will you listen?" 

"Will you heed her call for help, nourishment and support?" 

If this blog speaks to you, Unleashed may be for you
