Episode 06: Self Care, It’s a Must

 

In this episode, I’m going to dive into the subject of self care and share the three steps that I use to help me define and prioritize self care in my daily routines. It’s my hope that this episode will help you make self care a priority in your life and give you actionable tips on how to incorporate time for things that give you energy and fill you up.

  • What self care is and my experienced with it growing up [1:55]
  • My first realization with self care to navigate anxiety after giving birth [5:30]
  • First Step in Self Care: Discovery [8:00]
    • Ask yourself what is it that I need? What is my passion and desire that makes me feel happy, alive, and adding something to the world? [8:31]
    • There’s always something to discover about ourselves. We are born with innate passions and talents. They get lost in life, having babies, marital issues, depression, etc. [10:35]
    • Ask yourself what makes me happy, what gives me peace, what gifts can I supply others with the pleasure of knowing. [11:20]
  • Second Step in Self Care: Setting Up Goals [14:35] 
    • Take time out of your schedule to find the time to accomplish those goals. What does it look like for you? [16:30]
    • Focus on what you are currently doing, how many hours it takes and determine the time you can take to do self care actions. [17:03]
    • Set goals for yourself and what you want to accomplish, evaluate them and write them down! [19:18]
  • Third Step in Self Care: Implementing (the hardest step!) [20:02]
    • Create routines & stick to them – Consistency pays off!! [20:26]
    • Choose things to implement that are reasonable and fit your lifestyle. [23:15]
    • Prioritize by what can be done the fastest. Accomplish what’s easiest first and then focus on your bigger projects. [26:26]

Practicing self care will make us better people. Take time to discover who you are, remember you are worth it, you were created with a purpose and you have a gift to share!
