About this event
Session 2 - Creating a positive mindset for good self-care : handling the gremlins of negativity, shame, and guilt; and appreciate the benefits of taking better care of yourself
Too often you feel that other people's needs are more important than your own. Maybe, you feel shame or guilt, or you tell yourself that you don't deserve to look after yourself well.
In this session we will look at what might stand in the way, so that we can build a positive mindset. We will make space to hear those negative voices and then address and disarm them. We will use written exercises, journaling and partner sharing. We will learn new ways to be with these challenging parts of ourselves. we will learn to resource ourselves in the face of these challenges, and to stay positive in the face of set back.
Foundations of Self-care is a five-session series of weekly talks with Ruth Friedman and proposed by Cancer Support Group asbl.
