In this episode of The Empowered Resilient Woman, Host and Mindset & Resilience Coach, Kimberly Smith talks about self-love as a lifestyle, stress management and daily non-negotiables to overcome challenges and build resilience.
What is real self-love?
Self respect, compassion, and and prioritizing yourself, not just when it’s easy
Authenticity - bringing your true self into your daily life
Trusting your inner wisdom, intuition
Managing your time and energy
Prioritizing acts of self love and nurturing - Integrating SELFCARE into your life
Self-Celebration & Healthy Self-Pride
Life Themes and The Hero’s Journey:
The Hero’s Journey by Joseph Campbell
The Ordinary World
Call to Adventure
Refusal of the Call - Resistance - Where you must overcome Fear
Asking for / Accepting Support - Mentor / Coach
Initiating Positive Change
Allies & Enemies - people trying to stifle progress
Faith & the Unknown: Letting faith / intuition lead - self trust
The Great Ordeal
Reward
The Road Back - Integrating back into the ordinary world
Resurrection
Return with the Elixir
There are always going to be new challenges, obstacles and fears to overcome. We are on a constant hero’s journey, and we are always the HERO who comes through, who grows, perseveres and makes it to the other side with more wisdom to share.
Daily Non-negotiables:
It’s one thing to think about our life and compare it to the hero’s journey from a bird's eye perspective, and it’s another to zoom in and think about the tools we are going to take along the way.
You must have your daily non-negotiables for stress management. Here are mine, and I encourage you to evaluate and make your own list to support yourself.
Morning routine - set the tone for the day - act of self-love, first thing
Daily vibe check - what state have you woken up in? - Fore self/others
Must feel comfortable in my clothes
Vibey music - singing
Nourishing meals
Supplements
Room in my calendar to move things around - aligned flexibility.
Mental Breaks - every 90 minutes
Turn off work at 5pm
Disconnecting from technology
Evening routine
In order to prevent ourselves from getting trapped in cycles of stress and burnout, it’s a good practice to establish your daily non-negotiables for self-care, self-love and stress management.
