So why is it so difficult for us to take care of ourselves first? Despite what society tells you, it is never selfish to put yourself first, and with a few simple mindset changes, you can create ease in your daily life no matter how busy you are. Putting Yourself First with Elena Brower Elena Brower is a real force of nature when finding inner peace and putting yourself first. Elena knows firsthand the dangers of burnout as a mama, teacher, artist, bestselling author, podcast host, and yoga and meditation teacher. She has dedicated her life to helping others learn how to talk to themselves and listen to their mind, bodies, and hearts in order to be happy on the inside. Cultivating Your Inner Peace If you struggle with setting boundaries or being truly present in the moment, you are not alone. But the truth is, your peace belongs to you, and you alone. Elena’s practices can help you communicate with people, curate more space in your life, and choose which attributes you want to cultivate within yourself. We are not talking about a bubble bath or a manicure here. Elena’s program is all about getting intentional about taking care of yourself and being selective about the energy that you are letting into your life. Creating a Life You Love Through Self-Care Life is short. We as women need to become intentional about selecting the people to whom we give our love and time and letting go of the things that don't serve us anymore. As we age, it becomes all the more clear that self-care is the only way to create a life you love and that loves you back. When you can understand yourself and what you need in a real and practical way, you can take action every day to prioritize yourself and be of service to others in whatever way necessary. Are you ready to start putting yourself first for at least 5 minutes every day? Because you deserve it!
