#28 - Love yourself first

  Self-love is about having an inner acceptance and gentle toughness of knowing that you have your own back. That you are prepared to be your own best friend. That you can be gentle and patient with yourself, as well as being persistent and resilient.   When you love yourself first, you love the work in progress that is you instead of chasing ‘the you’ of your perfectionist fantasies.   Join me to explore the concept of self-love and several different concepts about what it means to ‘love yourself first’ in today’s episode.   In this episode you will learn: what it means to love yourself; why it’s important to love yourself; the concept of loving yourself first when prioritising self-care for you; and why it’s important to love and accept yourself as you are, before you lose weight or change some other aspect of yourself.   About Clair:     CLAIR MACKENZIE IS A LIFE & WEIGHT COACH WHO HELPS FEMALE PROFESSIONALS AND ENTREPRENEURS LOSE WEIGHT BY TRANSFORMING THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD AND THEMSELVES FOR LIFE     Clair’s uses an array of coaching tools and techniques to help women, who are done with dieting, take control of their eating whilst increasing their self-belief and self-worth.     “There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone overcome their detrimental relationship with food so that they can thrive in optimal physical and mental wellbeing.”     After overcoming decades of struggling with her own weight and losing 6 stone Clair used her experience and coaching qualifications to create her two programmes; ‘Lose Weight.
