Nurturing

A wonderful meditation piece by the Calm founder Tamara Levit. She reminded us about the importance of self-nurture. Unfortunately, self-care isn't taught in school. So as we evolve into adulthood, we don't always have the tools to self-nurture. We may also succumb to society's conditioning that conflicts with self-nurturing, where we learnt to treat ourselves with tough love and harsh words. Fortunately, the practice of meditation is an act of self-nurturing. Each time we sit and turn inwards, we come back to ourselves, offering kindness and compassion that we don't always receive from the world around us. So today let this be a reminder, and the permission slip to love and nurture yourself.
