In which she talks about the courage to be oneself in any scenario, in any context and no matter who we are in front of, always remaining sincere to our identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, we have to go back to the essential, to that woman connected with her wild side that does not agree with what is implemented by trying to corrupt her freedom, denying personal growth. It consists in really taking care of herself, being faithful, finding herself and letting herself flow. This is easy to write, it is even easier to read, but it is a process and a long road of transformation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transforming all the belief systems about this issue in the women of our context, means to begin to redefine what it really means to take care of oneself and to inhabit oneself. For this it is extremely important to create support networks with new ideologies, based on sisterhood and the strengthening of feminine energy, where women are empowered from love and not from wounds and fear of not fitting into a system full of appearances and vanity; spaces where limiting thoughts about wellness are transcended and beliefs of authenticity, acceptance and power are generated, in every woman and in all existing and future generations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, historically women have been subjugated and tamed under social standards established by a patriarchal system; exiled and subjected to the thought that to be well and self-care; is to fit into physical beauty patterns only, the good news is that we are in new and better times for every woman to stand up and find herself. And as the great Nina Simone said \u201cLove, as well as freedom, are situations and feelings difficult to explain. They need practice, they need to be experienced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They never remain in the banality of a concept\u201d this is the way to a good self-care, to start by each one of us to experience inhabiting ourselves, to put ourselves first, to be free and to come back to ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A woman who is inhabited, empowered and strong from her own love for herself, transforms realities, creates new and better scenarios, thus influencing her family, community and consequently her homeland. Self-care goes beyond matter, it is an act of revolution and love, a ritual to become again what was once denied to us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBeing ourselves causes us to end up exiled by many others. However, complying with what others want causes us to be exiled from ourselves\u201d.
