#SHE came to me in 2014 as I was doing some self-reflection in my home office. #SHE stands for Strong, Healthy, Empowered in all areas - spiritually, mentally, emotionally & physically. It's about having a #SHE spiritual life - prayer, meditating on God's word, spiritual growth. A #SHE mindset that is constantly being renewed by the Word of God, speaking words of life over yourself, in a habit of personal growth & development. #SHE emotional life - choosing to maintain specific emotions no matter the circumstances based on the beliefs and words we repeat to ourselves and the thoughts we allow our minds to think. #SHE physical state - daily habits of nourishing & moving our bodies, using low to no-tox products on our bodies and in our environment. These are the four pillars of self-care: spiritual, mental, emotional & physical. Investing in all four areas leads to living a strong, healthy empowered life. As you can start to see, they all connect & affect each other. Therefore, when you begin to improve one area, the other areas begin to improve as well.
As mamas, investing in our total self-care is a must! We cannot pour from an empty cup. We must fill our own cup first so that we can take care of those we love. We matter. Our needs matter...because we are necessary pillars of our homes & families. Make it a priority to take some time each morning to fill your spiritual, mental, emotional & physical cups! You'll feel anchored in the midst of life's storms, big and small. And more equipped to handle them in a way that reflects your personal values. You owe it to yourself and you owe it to them.
Love & Grace,
Amber
