Create a Self-Care Routine to Achieve Healing, Meaning, and Authenticity
As a Highly Sensitive Person, I know how hard it can be to make time for ourselves and our needs. We love helping and bringing joy to others, but sometimes we sacrifice ourselves in the process.
I remember when I used to put my needs at the bottom of the priority list and in those days I was miserable. When I finally learned that prioritizing my own wellness was an act of love for my family and everyone around me, it changed my life. I also learned that self-care for HSPs is very different than it is for the majority and it is the determining factor to whether we thrive or wilt.
That's why I was excited that fellow HSP, Kenzie Watters is hosting an interview series around self-care for Highly Sensitive People and Creatives, which was actually born out of her own research project to learn what self-care really means, how it affects Highly Sensitive People, and creatives, and how to implement self-care routines that stick.
It's called: Be Real Revolution: Create a Self-Care Routine to achieve healing, meaning, and authenticity.
I have a complimentary ticket for you to attend. You can register free here.
