1. Do you nurture yourself? If so, what are the ways you do so?

For me, this is a fairly new concept. I am learning how to do it. I think I have always taken care of everyone else, and not given it much thought until the last few months.

2. Do you rely on your partner/family/friends to nurture you?

Not family or friends, but being a Dom perhaps I have relied more on my submissive to do so, not quite sure on that just yet.

3. Do you feel that you adequately learned how to nurture your self when you were growing up?

Absolutely not.

4. Do you feel any sort of discomfort about nurturing yourself?

I do feel some discomfort surrounding the whole thing. Not sure why exactly. Even though I do believe one should do so, perhaps just because it is a new thing for me.

5. Do you think that this whole self nurturing thing is just new age stuff and not even something worth talking about?

No, I believe it is a necessary ingredient for emotional health.
