The Science of Self-Love to Improve Well-being

When we understand why and how something works, we are more likely to practice it. In this episode I want to break down the science behind the practices of self-love, specifically somatic movement and heart meditation, because self-love is one of the most empowering things we can do to imporve our wellbeing. Many of us tend to seek our worth and validation externally, creating a cycle of thought, feeling, and action that activates and strengthens our stress response. We play it small, we feel anxious, maybe even insecure. And although this is a life long journey, and those feelings are more than normal, understanding the science of self-love creates sustainable and consistent daily practices that affirm our worth, fulfill our needs, strengthen our emotional resilience, soothe the nervous system, and allows us to better hold space for ourselves and those around us. Self-love becomes second nature with practice so that we get to show up in the world as our most aligned and authentic being. Together we will uncover the science of self-love and learn two simple yet profound self-love practices that soothe the nervous system, improve brain function, and cultivate feelings of confidence and ease. For more holistic practices to empower your life, join The Practice membership: www.daphnelyon.com/membershipGain access to a growing library of on demand classes in meditation, breathwork, deep rest, and mindful movement, which includes yoga, flow, HIIT, and restorative. + 7 day free trial + free e-book on building habits for an empowered life.  Only $9.99 / month.Join my weekly newsletter and recieve a free guided meditation for sleep: www.daphnelyon.com/subscribe
