Self-Care
The Yoga practice is like a salve or ointment, a beautiful embodiment of self-care
We should consider if our own needs are being met. To serve, give, parent and respect others requires energy. It requires us to put on our own oxygen maks first. When we do this, we can live frome a place of fullness.
We inhabit a busy world and we can become overwhelmed in the body, heart and mind. Fatique and burnout can creep in if we not in tune with our life. If we continually expend more energy than we acuiquire, we will move into depletion.
Self-Care is not so much about a quick fix when life brings us to our knees. Self-Care is an appraisal and acceptance of where we find ourselves at the moment.
To practice,we continually need to adjust our sails and gently nudge ourselves in the right direction. When we tend to ourserves in the way, we gently pull our fragmented tendrils back home and put ourselves back together again.
Our body is the house for all our experiences, so to understand ourselves more thoroughly. We need to take time to explore our home. Meeting yourself where daily, feeling into your body, and seeing what you have arrived with is the first step in embodied awarness.
HSP
A highly sensitive person (HSP) is someone whose nervous system is more attuned to even subtle changes in their environment. They often feel deeply and notice details that others may miss. It isn't a disorder or diagnosis, and is typically seen as a temperament trait.
It's a trait shared by an estimated 20-30% of people. It's associated with a tendency toward greater empathy and creativity, but may cause people to become overstimulated by stress, noise, and light. It can also be associated with neurodivergence for some people.
A highly sensitive person (HSP) is an individual thought to have heightened or deeper sensitivity in the central nervous system to physical, emotional, or social stimuli. Some refer to this as sensory processing sensitivity (SPS).
Being an HSP does not mean that you have a mental illness. High sensitivity is a personality trait that involves increased responsiveness to both positive and negative influences.
