Joy in our Practice

January 10, 2019

Hello everyone!
In my work with Jean Watson, I have learned the importance of self care. Our lives are busy, yet it is so important that we take care of our own needs.  I recall the inspirational quote (I cannot find the original author)

You cannot pour from an empty vessel”

Author Unknown

In the words of Jean Watson:

We have to treat ourselves with gentleness, loving kindness, equanimity and dignity before we can respect and care for others with gentleness, kindness, equanimity and dignity.” Jean Watson
Be good to yourselves and have a fabulous weekend…

Warm regards,
