So, is your empathy preventing you from living your life?  I would love to hear from you about this episode or anything else that is on your mind.  Reach out via email at hello@heididellaire.com Book a Heal Your Story Breakthrough Intensive https://heididellaire.com/work-with-me --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/healyourstory/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/healyourstory/support

Today, we'll be delving into the fine line that separates self-care from potential harm and providing insights on how to navigate it successfully. In today's fast-paced world, self-care has become a buzzword, but it's essential to understand that not all self-care practices are created equal. We'll explore the dangers of perfectionism in self-care and how striving for an unattainable ideal can actually lead to stress, self-criticism, and a loss of enjoyment. It's time to let go of unrealistic expectations and embrace a more compassionate approach to self-care. We'll also uncover the hidden perils of excessive self-isolation.

I'll share practical tips on finding a balance between solitude and social connection, allowing you to recharge while nurturing meaningful relationships. Moreover, we'll dive into the topic of ignoring underlying issues in the pursuit of self-care.
