NOURISH TOGETHER - WEEKLY NEWSLETTER - 9/19/24
Note from Jamie
I like to share things that light me up, fill me with joy, and make my life easier. Nothing is sponsored. These are just things that are helping me along my journey.
Tell me, my friend, are you kind to yourself?
I know I wasn't for most of my life. Then, six years ago, I started learning about the practices of mindful self-compassion and it changed everything.
I am now so kind to myself that I consider it one of my greatest strengths.
Here are a few of the ways that I practice self-kindness:
- I set healthy boundaries. I protect my energy and say "no" when something doesn't align with my wellbeing.
- I listen to my body and rest when I am tired.
- I nourish myself with healthy foods.
- I practice gratitude:
- I speak kindly to myself. I've learned how to identify my "inner critic" and recognize that it's just trying to protect me.
- I laugh and prioritize joy.
- I move mindfully. While I enjoy a great workout, I make sure to listen to my body's needs and back off when I'm not feeling my best. I also stretch every night, which feels like a love letter to my body.
- I am learning to let go of perfectionism and people-pleasing.
- I "unplug" regularly.
- I prioritize sleep.
- I recognize my worth.
Small acts of self-kindness add up to big changes over time. The gentler I am with myself, the more balance, joy, and resilience I feel in my life.
xo,
Jamie
Inspiration
Nourish Pick of the Week
I'm so proud of our Lash & Brow Growth Serum.
I created the formula even before starting Nourish.
Friends at my corporate job were using very expensive lash products that were full of chemicals.
I wanted a less expensive, natural alternative, so I started researching the best hair growth ingredients and created my own formula. I was so impressed with the results - longer lashes and fuller, darker brows.
It's been a Nourish staple since day one.
