Episode Highlights

What is Self-Care?

  • Self-care is paying attention to something that’s wrong with us, something that requires our attention. 
  • It gives us the opportunity to recognize negative patterns before they become bigger deals. 
  • Self-care is giving ourselves grace and allowing ourselves to relax.

How Can You Begin a Self-Care Practice?

  • Get outside for some fresh air. 
  • Spend time on hobbies. If you don’t have any, pick one up. Learn something new. 
  • Take a hot bath to reduce inflammation in the body, lower blood pressure, and lower stress levels.

5 Powerful Quotes

  • “Giving up too much of ourselves has a way of catching up to everyone eventually – and then what do we do without any resources left to support us when we need it most?”
  • “It’s the difference between giving yourself regular breaks or having a panic attack so bad that you end up in the hospital one day. That’s self-care.”
  • “Spending time enjoying a hobby you love is a critical part of improving your self-care and managing your mental health.”
  • “Basically, taking a bath is the ultimate hack for practicing self-care and giving yourself room to breathe during your day.”
  • “We can give too much of ourselves, use up the little battery we have, and get drained.”
