Life coach and gender expert Carla Moore encourages people to take better care of themselves by learning to accept help from others instead of trying to do everything on their own.
“Taking care of yourself means recognizing that my dreams are bigger than this fear (of asking for help). So, I will ask for what I need so that my dreams can come out of my chest and start living in the world. Self-care means having the courage (to admit you need support),” she said, emphasizing that you can’t be expected to accomplish everything on your own. .
Self-care is the process of caring for oneself through health-promoting behaviors and active management of illness when it occurs.
Moore was a guest on the JN Circle Thrive Together Life Class series, where she participated in a discussion on the topic: “Me, Myself and Me: Selfishness or Self-Care?”
“Taking care of yourself is part of your personal greatness,” Moore noted, then continued “because a form of self-care is allowing other people to add their energy to what you are trying to (achieve). ).”
She explained it… “think of it this way, someone who is trying to start their own business has a very different experience than someone who has a team of five people,” she noted.
She further emphasized that it is important for people to be honest with themselves and seek outside help.
“It’s deep, pure honesty to say, ‘Am I taking care of myself if I continue to act the way I’m acting?’ And if I continue like this, will all the greatness in me manifest in this life? If the answer is no, then you need to change tactics.”
Dania Beckford, journalist and managing director of Broadtail Designs, who was also a guest at the session, said communication is a key factor in self-care.
“Sometimes your family members and those around you want to support you but cannot do so at that time, which is why it is important to communicate that they are not able to complete the task for the moment and indicate when. they can… communication is “part of how we take care of ourselves and others,” she explained.
