EPISODE 1718: Redefining Alone

08/28/22 • 13 min

SHE SPEAKS SHE HEALS Podcast with Doctor Shannon

You are NOT alone, but I bet you feel alone, don’t you? If not always, sometimes. Here’s how to NOT feel alone.

Kim McMillen said it so well, “When I loved myself enough I realized I am never alone.”

First, you must realize it.

Realizing it start with REAL for a reason.

It’s time to get real about how you feel, then recognize the truth about those feelings.

YES, get REAL about how you feel so you can heal.

Then redefine them.

This is how I’ve redefined ALONE.

The next time you feel alone, remember that there’s another way to see it. There’s another way to be in it. There’s another way to be in it — whether you’re with someone or not.

BE. WITH. YOU.

So you can feel yourself.

So you can get real with yourself.

So you can heal yourself.

And you know how you can do that?

Redefine ALONE as...

ALLONE.

You’re not a bunch of broken pieces and you don’t need to be fixed.

You are ALLONE.

YOU GO ALL. ALL IN.

ALL IN TO THE ONE THAT IS YOU.

ALLONE.

Connecting with ALL SIDES of you.

Realizing and recognizing YOU.

Then redefining the parts of you that need your attention, heart, and meaning.

That’s that.

That’s it.

That’s the NEW ALONE...ALLONE...

S.O.L. NOT SOLO.

EPISODE 1717: “Self Care" Is Dangerous

Today I expose the overrated and overlooked parts of self care. You must understand this subtle difference or it can be dangerous. It could be the difference between Health Care and Disease Care...

Not all “Self Care" is the same or healthful.

Kim McMillen reminds us that “When I loved myself enough I started treating myself to a massage at least once a week.”

Although massages are great for caring for yourself, so are manicures and pedicures, eating and exercise. However...

This is the subtle, yet SUBSTANTIAL difference...

It’s not about “treating yourself TO...”

It’s about “treating yourself WITH...”

It's about treating yourself WITH C.A.R.E.

Care. Attention. Respect. Excellence.

Aristotle reminds us that “Excellence is not an act, but a habit.”

It's when you begin to make caring for yourself a daily habit. An act of love and care. Treating yourself with the highest attention, respect, and excellence, that my dear is the whole truth about SELF CARE.

This creates health. EASE. Not DIS-EASE.

TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

What can you do today to treat yourself with CARE?

Do that. Today.
