Self-Care Healing: Give Yourself Permission
“Self-care is not self-indulgence. It is essential for your well-being. With self-care, you give yourself the sacred permission to be well.”
I had a bad fall last week. It resulted in multiple visits to the clinic for X-rays, reviews and check up. It was not the physical injury that shook me most, but the emotional trauma. For a while, I was also angry with myself for being so careless.
To begin with, I was frustrated over having to spend unnecessary money, time and attention. I did not like the idea of having to reschedule all my appointments and having to delay my work plans. I started off by lying in bed, caught in self-pity. My inner critic went: so much for being advocate of self-care and an author of a Self-Love book!
Luckily, I was aware of what was going on internally, and I knew I had to stop beating myself up. Adding salt to the wound is certainly not going to help expedite my recovery. On the contrary, I should be counting my blessings that I was not seriously hurt and to embrace my healing in self-love and care.
Self-Care Steps For Sacred Healing
“The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.” Caroline Myss
It took me more than a day of lying in bed before I could turn to energy healing tools such as EFT and Reiki. With the rescheduling of appointments, I was able to take a mini-meditation retreat in my bedroom too.
I worked on releasing my anger and frustration. I connected with divine energy flow to aid in healing my physical wounds. For support, I also turned to Young Living Essential Oils: Lavender, Peace & Calming, Transformation™, Trauma Life™ and Juva Cleanse. I experienced an uplift soon after.
I was exercising in the night when I had the bad fall. Hoping to push myself, I had deliberately ignored my tiredness. Well, the accident happened because I experienced a lapse in clarity and did not pay attention to what I was doing. Lesson learnt! And come to think of it, don’t many accidents happen in the same manner too?
Permission for Self-Care
Although I am up and about, I have decided to give myself the permission to take a blogging break. I will be back in August.
If you are reading this post, you may like to ask yourself if you are due for some self-care too. May I recommend having my book Self-Love Secrets or meditation program Self-Love Healing, as excellent companions while you are resting. Take care!
Love and abundance always,

Hi Suzie,
Thanks for stopping by. Your healing energy must have helped. I may not have fully recovered physically but at least I am up and about.
Yes, the universe certainly knows when to give us a lesson in self-love. It is definitely a great opportunity to practice some self-healing!
