I’m sure over the years you have received some great advice or given it.
Well recently, I decided to have a contest to see what great advice other Wellness Professionals or those of you who practice Self Care and might be willing to share. The contest was sent out to all my connections….over 1,000 Self Care Practitioners!
The contest had several great responses but what really soared above the rest comes from Biancia Tate at Hope Network, Inc.
The best tip that I chose was….
“When you are woman and a caregiver, such as a wife or mother, many times, you will forget you are a woman. You feel guilty taking care of yourself but, your soul needs to be nurtured. So, take time out. You both need it and deserve it. Take a walk in the mall and stop by a make-up counter. Get a makeover. Spray yourself with some perfume. Then, go try on some clothes you will never buy. Then, finish up the day with some chocolate ice cream with lots of fudge and whip cream. Celebrate who you are.”
What wonderful advice…don’t you think? For direct questions to Biancia Tate, feel free to email her.
It’s important to feel good about yourself and communicate with your body with psychological tools and techniques that Bianca has made us aware of.
I would love to hear your thoughts.

“Work” when applied to the Body Knowledge System always refers to your profession, and not your body. For some of us, work implies unpleasant effort, required responsibility, and dull routine; for others, work is a wonderful word meaning fulfillment, passion, and satisfaction.
Whether you love what you do professionally, or you do it to be free to pursue your passion, when members of the BodyAwe community refer to work—it never, ever,
applies to our bodies, or to exercise.
Body Knowledge System applies to what we do professionally, because BKS is integral to everything we do in our lives. Every moment we live and breathe can be enhanced when we apply the Body Knowledge System. Our work becomes our play when we are doing what
we love, and our body always reveals our life’s work—especially when we are actively engaged in doing it.
Are you doing the work you love? If not, why? I would like to know.

How will you know?
Ask your body.
She always tells the truth.
A mini-test to determine whether your position is your passion:
Stand up in the center of your room, your space. Take a deep breath—all the way to the bottom of your abdomen, then purse your lips and exhale slowly in an “O” until every molecule of air leaves your body.
1) Think of your job, work, profession.
2) Move with the thought.
3) Observe your movement, your dance.
Write down your impressions and how your body felt, preferably in your Body Knowledge Journal.
Place the date on the page, because you’ll want to refer back to your impressions later in your practice of the Body Knowledge System.
