The Philosophy of Extreme Self Care

 

Several years ago when I hired my first coach, Thomas Leonard, I learned about the concept of Extreme Self Care. Since then I've made it my intention to live by this philosophy so that I'm able to bring my best self to the world. Extreme Self Care means making choices and decisions that honor our soul in everyday life. From years of personal experience, as well as coaching great men and women, I've learned that when we care deeply for ourselves, we naturally begin to care for others -- our families, our friends, and our greater global community -- in a healthier and more effective way. We tell the truth. We make choices from love instead of guilt and obligation. And we begin to recognize that we are all connected and that our individual actions affect a greater whole.

While living a life of Extreme Self Care means different things to different people, in general, it's about living and working in a soul-nurturing environment, surrounding ourselves with beauty, spending time in nature, doing work that gives us a chance to fully express our creativity and talent -- work that ultimately contributes to the healing of the world. Extreme Self Care also means caring for our emotional, physical and spiritual health -- feeding ourselves good food, moving our bodies every day, balancing silence with activity, and surrounding ourselves with supportive, like-minded people who are committed to improving the quality of their lives as well.

The choice to live a life that holds "Extreme Self Care" as your vision is not an easy one. It takes practice, patience, commitment, and more practice :).  At MyExtremeSelfCare.com and CherylRichardson.com, our intention is to provide you with practical tools, products, resources, and information that will support you in living a great life, because we know: A great life for you, means a great life for us all.

Thanks so much for joining me on the journey!
