I was excited to contribute an article to The Ladies Coach this month – a popular blog founded by relationship coach, Christal Fuentes.

I wanted to suggest a little re-frame for what practising self care REALLY is… just in case you’re feeling guilty, or your ego is telling you it’s not a priority 😉

On the surface, practicing self care seems like a luxury, because it’s misunderstood as unnecessary self-interest, like a feel-good fix. At this level of understanding, the ego will be able to dig its guilty little heels in and keep you away from your precious me-time. Our ego’s favourite weapon is guilt. It will bring guilt into all sorts of life scenarios to keep you stuck.

So the key to overcoming guilt lies in understanding what self care really is.

The term ‘self care’ is a buzzword. It’s a term coined to sum up a much deeper process of returning to who you really are, which ultimately, is the purpose of your life.
