Reframing & Reclaiming Self- Care
• Being “selfish” vs. caring for the self
Reframing & Reclaiming Self- Care
When we are selfish,
our motivation is for our sole gain.
When we care for the self,
our motivation is for Our Soul’s gain.
Reframing & Reclaiming Self- Care
When we are selfish,
we leave others behind.
When we care for the self,
we recognize that unless we are grounded and
strong, we can never bring others with us.
