Supportive Self-Care

If you Google the word "support," there's a description that says something like a thing that bears the weight of something or keeps it upright. Regarding supportive self-care, how can we practice self-care without bearing all the weight and still stay upright in the process? These are hard questions to ponder as Jill and Linda dive into another discussion and talk about:

• Practical ways in which we support ourselves and others, such as cooking a meal for someone, offering to look after an extra kid or two, and cleaning out a car.
• The nuances that are unsaid and unwritten when it comes to supportive self-care.
• How hard it can be to accept help, especially when we are sick or tired or unsure if we are a burden.
• Spending time alone to support ourselves and others, when its quicker and easier to get things done rather than having extra company alongside.
• Checking in to our immediate reactions to events or when self-care is mucked up and doesn't go as planned.
• Continuing to have conversations and feel seen and understood.

We would love to hear from you. Find find Jill on Instagram @mamaoutspoken and https://www.mamaoutspoken.com/ and Linda @hellolindabonney or https://www.lindabonney.com.

Until next week – we hope you can unstuck your muck!
