And is it possible to separate self-love and success? Do you believe that if you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be able to take care of others? My mentor has given me this advice more than once. And research agrees that caring for yourself is critically important…especially if you provide care or support to other people.
Burnout, overwhelm, stress, and unfulfillment come to those of us who consistently put others ahead of ourselves. It also comes to those of us who are so driven to achieve our goals that we sacrifice absolute self-love.
I can personally attest to how devastating sacrificing absolute self-love can be. Supporting my team and this industry, caring for my Mother as she went through several bouts of cancer, and moving several times while we went through the nightmare of building a home…all of these caused a perfect storm that led to my own health crisis.
And no…all of my superhero backflips didn’t create any miracles. My team was left to pick up where I couldn’t and I didn’t save my Mom from cancer.
So why do we do it? Why do we sacrifice our absolute self-love and self-care when it really doesn’t get us to our ‘end game’?
Our podcast guest, Jasmyn Quianna feels that practicing absolute self-love and achieving goals go hand-in-hand. And after years of unsuccessfully attempting to separate the two, I agree with Jasmyn.
But how do you marry the two concepts? Today’s podcast is a must-listen for everyone at any stage of their life and career who needs to learn how to practice absolute self-love.
