The whole purpose of this assignment is to start getting into the frame of mind that you can't give what you don't have. Meaning, if you fill yourself with judgement, anger and impatience, that's what you give to the world. If you fill yourself with self-compassion, forgiveness, and patience, that's what you give to the world. I believe we would all like to fill ourselves up with the positive to give both ourselves and this world and that is what this assignment is focused on......you first filling you so that you can be happy as well as a positive change in this world.
Self-care starts with awareness.
