19: Nurturing Superwoman: Empowering to Focus on Self-Care
This episode is for all you superwomen. You know who I am talking to. All women. All those of us who are quick to help others and struggle sometimes to focus on ourselves. Self care isn't selfish and today we are going to dive into why taking care of ourselves first is so dang important!
This episode is for all you superwomen. You know who I am talking to. All women. That’s right, it’s for every woman out there who is busy caretaking, working, and making this world a better place.
In this episode, I want to talk about a topic that has a lot of traction lately and is a common social media buzzword, and this self-care. I discussed self-care in Episode 6 of this podcast from the perspective of being gentle with yourself. Now, I want to dive a bit deeper into what self-care truly is and isn’t, and how to carve out some time and give yourself permission to take care of yourself.
As you’ll hear, real self-care involves consistent practices and habits that support our overall health and happiness. We absolutely need to recognize the importance of self-care and understand that self-care is not selfish, it’s essential for your overall well-being.
Remember, real self-care is a continuous and ongoing process that requires self-awareness, self-compassion and the willingness to make choices that support your well-being.
I hope this episode sheds some light on what self-care really is all about, and gives you practical action steps, tips and reframes that you can begin using in your own life daily.
