The Aging Project Self love, self-care: If not now, then when? with Josie Thomson
In this conversation, Shelley Craft and Josie Thomson discuss the importance of self-love and its impact on aging well. They explore the challenges of loving oneself and share personal stories of growth and transformation. They also discuss the influence of conditioning and comparison, the wake-up call of illness, and the power of choosing to live life on one's own terms. The conversation highlights the need to open a positive and honest conversation with oneself and the importance of acknowledging and processing emotions. They emphasise the practice of self-like and self-love as a way to cultivate a healthy relationship with oneself. In this conversation, Josie Thomson discusses the importance of intuition and trusting our inner voice. She explains that intuition happens in the body, while the brain can often lead us astray due to unconscious programs and the primary goal of safety. Josie emphasises the need to observe discomfort and make choices that prioritise our own safety and well-being. She also shares practical tips for incorporating self-love into everyday life, such as setting intentions and finding a happy song. Josie highlights the importance of breaking patterns and finding self-empowerment, as well as the journey of falling in love with oneself. She recommends books and shares an affirmation: 'What will be is up to me.'
