Nurture: Your WOW Message of the Week

Here’s your Words of Wisdom (WOW) Message of the week.

NURTURE

I listen to my intuition and know what to do.

Definition: care for and encourage growth

Other: look after, support, take care of

Opposite: neglect, ignore, forget

INTENTIONAL ATTENTION!
To ourselves and others.

It can be a lifestyle, something we do in our daily lives. To improve well-being and contentment we support the act of being ourselves. There are many habits that encourage caring for mind, body and spirit. Through trial and error we learn what is most important to help us flourish.

For me, when I clear clutter from my house it decreases my stress level and gives me clarity. It makes me feel happier and it is a way to nurture my love of harmony and peace. Doing a daily meditation or soaking up some Vitamin D in the sun or saying no can be ways to encourage growth towards living life better.

Making someone feel important can be as easy as listening to them with focus and understanding. You can convey a feeling of cooperation and nurture the relationship. Taking consideration of other’s wishes is not the same as people pleasing or going overboard with YES to everyone or everything.

One of the best ways to be lifted up is to lift someone else up. Being a caring person who uses communication in a kind and honest way can lead to relationships where both are sharing dreams and life lessons with mutual give and take. Giving emotional support can make working through a challenge a little easier.

In these quickly changing times we sometimes face discomfort from different opinions and ideas. We are working towards a goal of listening, to support changes in ourselves and others. We must work together to nurture a climate of acceptance and inclusivity.

It is not easy to figure out what you need in your life to feel cared for or how you can support others.

Listen to your heart.

Tune into your intuition, it’s quiet and always there, and you will know what to do.



Find the Good,
Becky and Janette
