Summary: This week, instead of addressing a question that was sent in, I wanted to talk about self-care. Take a listen to hear why self-care and self-compassion aren’t just feel-good things to do, but actually imperative if we’re planning on changing the world for the better. (And of course, don’t forget to email me at karen@themakelightshow.com, if you’d like me to tackle any questions related to how to make light in your own lives!)<br> Links mentioned in this episode:<br> <br> * <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/valarie_kaur_3_lessons_of_revolutionary_love_in_a_time_of_rage">Valarie Kaur’s excellent TED talk: 3 Lessons of Revolutionary Love in a Time of Rage</a><br> * <a href="http://selfcompassion.org/">Dr. Kristin Neff on Self-Compassion</a><br> * <a href="http://www.chookooloonks.com/blog/on-air-travel-and-self-compassion">My blog post on Kristin Neff’s Self-Compassion Break</a><br> * <a href="http://www.chookooloonks.com/blog/on-collecting-art">My blog post on how to begin an art collection</a><br> * <a href="http://www.onlinemeditationtimer.com/">My favourite online app for meditating in the middle of the day, getting centred with my breath</a><br> <br> ______________________<br> Karen Walrond is a leadership consultant, speaker, bestselling author and award-winning photographer, whose work is all about leadership, self-determination and making light.
