Practice selfcompassion and self-care to nurture your emotions from "summary" of Running on Empty by Jonice Webb,Christine Musello
To heal the wounds of emotional neglect, it is crucial to practice self-compassion and self-care. This means treating yourself with kindness, understanding, and patience, just as you would a friend in need. It involves acknowledging your feelings, accepting them without judgment, and offering yourself comfort and support.
Self-compassion also entails being gentle with yourself when you make mistakes or face challenges. Instead of criticizing or berating yourself, try to be understanding and forgiving. Remember that everyone makes mistakes and encounters difficulties at some point in their lives. By showing yourself compassion in these moments, you are nurturing your emotions and promoting healing.
In addition to self-compassion, self-care is essential for emotional well-being. This involves taking the time to engage in activities that bring you joy, relaxation, and fulfillment. It means prioritizing your needs and setting boundaries to protect your emotional energy. Self-care can include activities such as exercise, meditation, spending time with loved ones, or pursuing hobbies and interests.
By practicing self-compassion and self-care, you are actively nurturing your emotions and building resilience. You are creating a safe and supportive environment within yourself, where you can process and heal from past emotional wounds. Remember that self-compassion and self-care are ongoing practices that require patience and dedication. Over time, you will begin to feel more in tune with your emotions and better equipped to navigate life's challenges.
