What’s (‘self’) love got to do with it!? (everything…)
So, this is the ‘mind the gap’ midlife stop off for you, my gift to you this Summer holiday.
It is our relationship with ourselves that is so important. As the adage goes ‘if we don’t put our oxygen mask on first, how can we be in the best possible position to support others’, particularly with all the juggling that goes on during our midlife. Ring any bells? Self-care is a necessity not a luxury. Self-love is the ‘name of the game’ here to support others. If we are holding everyone else up in our family, friendships & relationship, look around, who’s holding you up?
During our midlife, those feelings of a crisis of confidence crop up, questioning our self-identity, loss of connections with ourselves & others, quite often the experienced effect of hormonal fluctuations on our relationships be they with our children, close family, partners, husbands, wives. Are you with me?
So, this is the ‘mind the gap’ midlife stop off for you, my gift to you this Summer holiday.
