This week I hit an all time low and I realized that I need to put myself first in order to be successful in other areas of my life. Thanks for the reassurance.Rachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-76018576393969095092014-10-02T16:02:50.782-07:002014-10-02T16:02:50.782-07:00I've learned over the years that when I go thr...I've learned over the years that when I go through stressful times self-care is even more important than during "normal" times. I tend to not take care of myself the way I should for a little while but then always do what I know I should do. Luckily, I have learned to get back to self-care very quickly and am much more mindful of this than I was in the past. <br /><br />I think self-acceptance does not have to mean that we can't work on ourselves at the same time. It doesn't mean "giving up." For me it's important to accept where I'm at even if it's not my "ideal" self. But it doesn't mean I won't use self-care to get closer to where I know I'll be my best.Andrea@WellnessNoteshttp://www.andreaswellnessnotes.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-56163730547246529162014-10-02T15:53:49.708-07:002014-10-02T15:53:49.708-07:00so interesting, they absolutely can coexist and as...so interesting, they absolutely can coexist and as we see all the time not everyone finds self acceptance via weight loss either.Carolynhttp://foodtrainers.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-10159634244166593142014-10-02T13:10:34.596-07:002014-10-02T13:10:34.596-07:00I don't think that just because you're try...I don't think that just because you're trying to lose weight or improve your health in some other way means that you can't also feel confident about yourself the way you are at any given moment. We all have lapses in taking good care of ourselves at stressful times (I went through this a couple of years ago when my dad passed away so it's familiar). Hopefully, those lapses are short and temporary, and one can get right back on track. But it doesn't mean you're a bad person or that you're not good enough the way you are.Jennoreply@blogger.com
