It really resonated with me and I have been contemplating it since I read it. Thanks Shelby. “Why self-care? Appropriate self-care nurtures our sense of safety and comfort, replenishes our energy for taking on life’s challenges, and gives us more good feeling to invest in our relationships with family, friends, fellow congregants, and the larger world. Our bodies and souls are blessings. And they are our best tools for serving one another and the sacred. Let’s take good care of them.” [...] […] I’ve been brooding over a post one of my blogging peeps posted a while back about self negation.

Sorry I haven’t stopped by in a while. Your post confronting the issue of self indulgence and self neglect reminds me of the story a Buddha - how he went from being a pampered prince, to nearly starving himself to death to find enlightenment. He, too, settled on a middle way…

… not to say you hadn’t thought of this yourself, just that it’s an interesting parallel.

Namaste.

You're right, good self-care is common sense. I find the challenge can be tuning into that common sense and tuning out the barrage of other messages. Thanks for commenting.

It's that middle ground, which is an unfortunately needed qualifier because of the pervasive message of self-indulgence. In the absence of that, it's just good common sense--think about what you put into your body, consider how much sleep you need (and get it), move your body on a regular (throughout the day) basis, and connect with others as often as possible.
