Before we start, let’s talk about what self-care is and why it’s *essential* for YOU.🌿✨
Did you ever think of self-care as a nice idea—like a self-indulgence or luxury? I never thought of it as self-indulgent but have to admit my actions before I paid attention to sleep said much different.
Indulgent? Luxury? Turns out nothing could be further from the truth!
The evidence is in––self-care helps you:
• 💪 Have more energy for what and who you love
• 🎯 Grow your focus and sense of purpose
• 💗 Cultivate your sense of self-love and confidence
• 😌 Ease stress, anxiety, and burnout
• 🙌 Enhance your mood, resilience, and health
What is self-care, exactly? It’s so much more than one spa day! It’s anything you do to take care of your physical, emotional, spiritual, or social health––from getting better sleep to relaxing with your favorite people.
All the habits we are practicing for this challenge are self-care. And we’ll be giving you more ideas as we go! Self-care is extra powerful when it’s part of your daily habits.
Your well-being is what makes it possible for you to give to others. Self-indulgent? Not at all. You only have so much gas in your tank. Self-care is how you stay fueled.
What are your favorite ways to practice self-care? (share your favorite ways, if applicable, talk about youth Masks, skincare, rest and rewind stretching.) The Zen of Sleep starts Monday, Feb 12th. Let me know if you are interested and I’ll get you in.
