Do you find yourself turning to coping mechanisms to get through this difficult time? Do these coping mechanisms feel nurturing and healthy or are you starting to wonder whether they’re having a negative impact? In this week’s episode of You Are Infinitely Loved, Lindsay, Koes and I share the different coping mechanisms we’ve been turning to during this pandemic.
We talk about developing self-awareness and noticing when a coping mechanism and something that feels nurturing starts to become problematic or self-destructive. What is that tipping point and how can you tune into it? We discuss the idea of finding a balance between caring for your present self whilst looking after your future self.
We also talk about why so many people are looking to things from their childhood right now to help them feel comforted and nurtured.
Being able to nurture yourself is one of the most self-loving things you can learn to do, so we encourage you to think about all of the things that you could possibly do to nurture your body, mind and soul.
Thanks for being here.
