Loving Self- Self-Care

Wholistic Self-Care is the loving and caring act of self in body, mind, heart & spirit.

Jeroen and I often witness the birds living in our Sanctuary Forest Garden of all sorts - small to big, babies to adults. They take very great care of themselves.

Self-care is an area I inspire my clients and readers to embrace in life.
Self-care does not involve just doing things that is loving to self but also in a wholistic way of living & being.
I encourage self-care in the body, mind, heart & spirit.

Often than not, we beat ourselves up, whether in our mind, body, heart and/or spirit.
We can suffer from the poor self-image in every aspects.

We can abuse our body and/or mind.
We can neglect our emotional and/or spiritual well-being.

Or we only focus on one area and forget the other.

What is to have a balance wholistic way of living?
What is actually loving self-care?
What is loving self?

I once wrote, none is inferior nor superior.
Only when we heal in every area of our whole self, whole-being,
then we begin to love every bit of self - in body, mind, heart & spirit.
And a gradual process of embracing self in a wholistic way, living and being.

I love just spending time witnessing the creatures in our forest garden from butterfly to bees to wasps to hornets to birds to flowers to trees to soil even... what live and is in our forest. Every encounter is a lesson in itself. Nature teaches me so many invaluable lessons about life per se. (I have blogged quite a few here.)

I see the birds always take great care of themselves. (A contemplation book will be birthed to guide and direct you.)
The birds take time to have self-care. (Even the bees - 'The Miracles of the Sleeping Bees.')
Are you aware?

*I have posted a number of You Tube videos of bird taking time for self-care. And Jeroen captured the buzzards - taking care of themselves. Here is one of the buzzards we witnessed and Jeroen captured the bird cleaning feathers - a way of loving self-care.*
