Life Lessons from a Korean Spa

Self-care isn't selfish, it's sustainable. Everything in nature sustains itself through self-assessment, noticing what it needs, not necessarily what it wants, and attuning to itself then meeting that need. Being gentle and compassionate towards oneself is a starting point towards self-care. Compassion is to self judgement as water is to weeds, it allows for easier pulling and release of them. If we can be compassionate with our bodies, we can start to diffuse the judgements and shame.
