(Step 2 of 7 in Mini-Series) Acting on what you need vs. what you want.
Self-love is a crucial part of our mental and emotional well-being. It involves accepting yourself for who you are, treating yourself with kindness and compassion, and making sure that your needs are met. In step 1 of this 7 mini-series, we discussed what self-love is.
In this episode, Bettina, your host, dives into the second step, which involves acting on what you need rather than just what you want. At times, it can be challenging to differentiate between what we need and what we want. Needs are necessities essential for our survival and well-being, while wants are desires we can live without. For instance, food and water are needs, while ice cream and cake are wants. Understanding the difference between the two is critical, as it helps us to prioritize our well-being.
Taking care of yourself is the most important thing you can do for yourself because it allows you to be the best version of yourself. By prioritizing your needs, you boost your self-esteem, improve your mood, and enhance your physical and emotional health.
