Episode 5: From Self-Sacrifice to Self-Care

Thanks for watching this episode of The Family Couch!

In this episode of The Family Couch with Spiritual Counselor, mom and author Suzi Lula we discuss how self care is misunderstood and the impact that it can have on your relationships, parenting your children, and how you can take control of your life.

We discuss how parents feel that there is never enough time, constantly moving from one activity to the next unable to imagine taking just one break for a manicure, massage, or any splurge that focuses on oneself. Suzi shares the importance of taking the time to nourish your spirit and how that can transform you far beyond the time you spend away from your family.

Suzi articulates how taking care of children is a spiritual experience in itself because you are so connected to another person. She shares how you can be more connected than you are; you are the untapped spiritual powerhouse in this world.

Next, we chat about how as parents we have to give ourselves permission to enjoy and nourish care, not matter how small, giving tangible examples that you can try today (i.e. pulling out crayons and coloring along side your child, if you enjoy coloring or keeping fresh flowers in the home).

Lastly, we explore how it will take time, commitment and growth to transform your mindset but that the effort and time is worth it. The time and daily effort becomes part of your life and benefits seep into your every aspect of your life. Suzi discusses the culture comparison that we have and why it is important to make your own world where you are comfortable being yourself.
