As we age, we tend to have a clearer sense of what is most important to us in life. For me, it’s self-care and relationships. If you share my highest values, you’re in luck because today’s special offer honors both of those things!
In my experience, self-care and relationships are closely intertwined, as I have found that deep self-care enhances my worth, which allows me to attract and maintain healthy relationships. This inspires me to continue taking care of myself so that I can give my best self to the people I love (without losing myself in the process).
For many of us, this isn’t easy or instinctive. Many of us ignore our own needs and feelings when we are young, perhaps because they are too uncomfortable or inconvenient for those around us. We then form beliefs about what we deserve based on these experiences.
If left unchecked, these beliefs can lead us to make choices that don’t truly serve us in all aspects of our lives.
In my twenties, that meant living in a run-down single-family home in Times Square. And only build “friendships” with people you want to get drunk and do drugs with. And only “dated” men who were interested in being friends with benefits, while treating me with far less respect than one would expect from a true friend.
It wasn’t until later that I realized that the reason I took such poor care of myself was because I took so little care of myself. Nor did I imagine that by getting to the root of the cause, I could completely change my life.
Why I had bulimia as a child. And then there is matter. I’ve been in unhealthy relationships pretty much all my life. Why I sabotage myself when it comes to money. Why do I always want to prove that I am a good person. Why am I always worried that people will find out that I’m not.
I’ve made huge strides in all of these things over the past two decades, and I’ve seen the ripple effects on my health, my job, and my relationships.
I want the same growth and healing for all of us – both because I believe that’s how we can all find a little happiness in this world, and because I believe that if more people took up this work, The world will be a better place.
That’s why I created my new e-course, Breaking Barriers to Self-Care: to help us all identify and overcome self-sabotaging beliefs and habits so we can meet our deepest needs and thrive.
Maybe you can relate to my story of self-destruction and self-destruction. Or maybe you don’t struggle with low self-worth to this extent yet, but you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and unfulfilled by doing too much and giving too much away. Either way, I believe this course can help you create meaningful change from the inside out.
