I've been thinking about this a lot. I have found through discussion with a valued friend that I am confusing self-indulgence with self-nurturing.
I had to look it up. Self-indulgence
Nurturing, for me, is allowing myself to have a long, hot soak in the tub and not worrying about the many other thing I COULD be doing. It's getting up on the orbital bike at work even for ten minutes a day. That's nurturing my body to be healthy. It's getting off the computer and picking up a good book with one glass of wine and a plate of cheese and grapes. That nurtures my need for quiet. It's calling a girlfriend over to hang out in the pool then talk for hours. It's loving myself without blame. Without listening to the voices of others telling me who and what I should be. It's hard. It's really hard to separate indulgent from nurturing for me. |
