What is "Lighting Up for Ourselves"? How this Practice can Transform our Mental Health
Why do some moments change how we see ourselves and interact with others? Inspired by Toni Morrison's profound insight on "lighting up," this episode unpacks the transformational power of showing visible joy and approval in our relationships. Morrison's approach, which she beautifully describes in conversations with her children, teaches us that our emotional responses shape the mental health of those around us, especially for Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs). For HSPs, learning to 'light up' for oneself is equally transformative, offering a path to greater emotional health and resilience. We explore how adopting this simple yet profound gesture can help anyone, particularly those recovering from abuse or struggling with mental health challenges, to foster deeper connections and embrace self-love. Discover how 'lighting up' can light up your path to emotional well-being.If you are interested in supporting us even more than a 5-star review, you can find Emotional Badass on Patreon where you will get bonus content and different opportunities to work with Nikki in group format https://www.patreon.com/emotionalbadassResources:Download the free Morning Routine PDF to learn our techniques to help conquer your day! https://www.emotionalbadass.com/morning-routineCommunity & Exclusive Bonus Episodes & Video: https://www.patreon.com/emotionalbadass30 Days to Peace Course: https://www.EmotionalBadass.com/peace CODE: BADASS for 30% OffBrain.FM: CODE: Emotionalbadass for 20% off and a free monthJoin our newsletter for weekly wellness emails where we share mental health tips, announcements, discount codes, and highlight past episodes: https://www.emotionalbadass.com/newsletterCheck out our Guided Meditations narrated by Nikki available for sale: https://www.emotionalbadass.com/store/meditationsFollow us on Social Media:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/emotionalbadassIG: https://www.instagram.com/emotional.badassFB: https://www.facebook.com/emotionalbadassTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@emotionalbadassPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/emotionalbadassThank you for supporting this show by supporting our sponsors: https://www.emotionalbadass.com/sponsorsAdvertising:Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.
