Aspire Magazine: Inspiration for a Woman's Soul.(TM) Dec19/Jan20 Aspire Mag FINAL | Page 53

Empower yourself by expanding your self-
nurturing practice in 2020 and live with more
peace, joy, and meaning! Give yourself
permission to lovingly reflect on your past
year and then with joy incorporate new self-
nurturing practices into the New Year. Give
yourself grace in the process, remembering
we are not aiming for perfection but rather
giving ourselves the opportunity to try out
different self-nurturing practices and then
choose what serves us best. I invite you
to release the notion that self-nurturing is
“Feeding y
ou
positive tho rself with
acknowled ughts of
gratitude w gement and
il
to focus on l train your brain
t
empowerin he positive – an
g self
approach t -nurturing
o life.”
another thing on your “to do” list and instead
embrace the process of demonstrating your
love and commitment to you! We have the
power to change the world one self-nurturing
practice at a time!
May you empower and nurture yourself in
the New Year, nurturing peace in the world
from the inside out!
Sending you so much peace, love and
gratitude, Kelley
