Sunday SAGe Newsletter Volume 15: Wisdom to Start the New Year

Happy Sunday!

Here is this week’s installment of Sunday SAGe, an email communication that shares wellness inspiration from The Wellness Ethic to help people thrive during the coming week (and beyond!).

This week’s focus is on simple wisdom that can be life-altering when you consistently apply it to your life. It also represents the final words that I leave with my readers in my upcoming book, The Wellness Ethic, which is on target to be published in February!

Wisdom to Start the New Year

An excerpt from The Wellness Ethic:

Be kind to your one-of-a-kind self, always.

What It Means

Kindness is synonymous with love, and love starts and ends with you. In between is the love you share with others. When you love yourself, you embrace your spiritual essence as good. You know you have a lot to offer the world. You believe that you deserve happiness and fulfillment, and you move your life in a direction that realizes that promise. You enjoy your successes, savor life, and cut yourself slack when you struggle because you know everyone is a perpetual work in progress. You accept your appearance as perfectly you, no matter what others may say. When you love yourself, every cell in your body knows that you matter.

Your Call to Action

If you are challenged with being kind to yourself, consider the following:

• Make it a daily habit to do something that brings you joy. Maintain the streak for the rest of your life.

• Choose to practice self-compassion by treating yourself to the kindness you would offer a friend in need.

• Create positive affirmations and develop a daily habit of repeating them, such as “I am worthy of love and respect” and “I have a lot of love to offer to myself and the world.”

• Seek professional help if you struggle to feel good about yourself or your life.

Have a wonderful New Year!
