In this episode of SelfKind with Erica Webb (that's me!) I'm sharing a little analogy from the world of plants.
You know how plants orient themselves toward the sun? Well, I think we can learn a whole lot about self-care by considering the question: how do I orient myself toward support?
You'll hear:
- why it's often easy to orient towards suffering and martyrdom.
- why waiting to orient toward support just doesn't make sense (even though it's what so many of us do)
- how we can learn from the resilience and adaptability of nature.
Time Stamps:
00:00 Introduction and Welcome
00:10 The Plant Analogy: Orienting Towards Growth
02:51 Personal Reflections: Orienting Towards Suffering
03:11 The Challenge of Orienting Towards Support
04:09 The Power of Orienting Towards What Supports Us
04:43 The Default Nature of Plants: A Lesson for Us
05:43 Imagining a Default Orientation Towards Support
06:02 A New Perspective on Self Care
06:36 Conclusion: Applying the Plant Analogy in Daily Life
