Selfish or Self-care? A Conversation With Brittany Rose Green, Relationship Coach
Recently, relationship coach Brittany Rose Green and I sat down virtually to discuss the concept of being selfish versus the idea of caring for ourselves. So many women are conditioned to make sure everyone else is “ok.” By doing so, she often neglects herself.
We had a bit of chatter at the beginning, so if you want to get to the meat of this interview, go to about 5 minutes 30 seconds. Enjoy!
Below is a snapshot of some key points from this powerful and meaningful conversation we shared:
During our discussion, I shared how I manage to avoid some guilt. I do this by watching what I call my "deliverables":
What am I capable of giving?
What am I willing to give?
What are my limitations?
And here is what I discovered. The space between what you can do and what you think you should do... is called guilt.
Some may argue that guilt is a motivator. I think guilt is the thing that keeps us trapped in a vicious cycle of desire, effort and failure, because of feelings that no matter what we do, its never enough. But it is enough.
When we find self-acceptance, know that what we offer is always enough, and find peace with those things we can't do, we eliminate guilt.
