PARENTING YOURSELF AND WHAT THAT MEANS:
Parenting yourself is a concept that makes self-care more easy to understand.
This is the idea of mothering and fathering yourself.
Mothering yourself is utilizing the feminine energy that is within every single one of us.
This energy is intuitive and receptive and compassionate. This is the bubble bath, mediating, journaling, etc..., part of self care.
Really allowing yourself time and space to listen and understand your needs and wants, as well as listen to what you are being divinely guided to do (i.e. your purpose).
Fathering yourself is utilizing the masculine energy that is inside every single one of us and taking what we learned from the intuitive feminine energy and actually doing something with it.
Fathering is setting boundaries and respecting those boundaries. It's keeping your word to yourself.
Mothering is intuitive and knowing and caring.
Fathering is protective and doing and caring.
Masculine energy makes the house, feminine energy makes the house a home.
Both are needed. Both are needed to be balanced. Both are within each one of us.
Parenting yourself is about looking out for what's best for you. It's about accepting and loving yourself while working towards the best version of yourself.
