If you're sick of hearing things like "make sure you're practicing self-care" it's likely because you're thinking about it all wrong. When I talk about self-care, I'm  not talking about the spa days, the bubble baths, the weekend get-aways, etc. I'm talking about the disciplined habits throughout your day and throughout your week that prevent you from getting to that depleted place. Self-care shouldn't be a grand gesture that we treat ourselves to once we feel depleted, it's little acts of self-love and self-discipline that we do consistently to help us from getting to that fully depleted feeling in the first place.  If you're struggling with your self-care routine or just don't know where to start, the No BS Mama Self-Care menu simplifies this for you!

    I don't know about you but the first time I went to therapy I was SHOCKED to find out I was there to actually work on myself and not the people and things around me that I found stressful. I mean why didn't my therapist see that they were the problem right?The truth is, maybe there are some problematic people, places or things in your life. But at the end of the day this is YOUR life and the only person you have control over is YOU. Looking in that mirror and learning things about myself was hard as shit. No one wants to take a look at their own problematic behaviors, thought patterns, beliefs, etc. It's so much easier to want other people to change instead. But here's the thing. When you change yourself and take better control of your thoughts, emotions and behaviors, everything around you seems to fall in place a little better. It can be a slow, sometimes painful process but one that I believe is so incredibly worth it. When you can better regulate yourself, you can improve the relationships with the people around you...especially your kids. And YOU deserve that. But since I know you aren't motivated to do things for yourself, I'll remind you that your family deserves that too. Did you hear??? I'm writing a f*cking book!

    Sometimes we hold on to good things because...well because they're good. Why fix what's not broken, right? But sometimes you have a gut feeling that this good thing doesn't quite fit or no longer works. And that feeling is really easy to ignore.

    Earlier this summer, my friend Dr. Christine Jehu, taught us about the concept of the window of tolerance. This concept essentially measures our capacity to be able to tolerate the stressors of life. She explains it way better in her interview (see below). Today I'm sharing about my recent realization that my window of tolerance isn't open quite as far as I'd like and what I'm doing about it.Podcast mentioned on today's episode:94.

    When we're feeling like shit or feeling stuck it's EASY to feel sorry for ourselves or to wish we were further along than we are right now. But I encourage you to look back instead of looking ahead. In what ways are you different today than you were back then? THAT is something to be proud of, something worth celebrating.  I know it doesn't come easy to you to recognize your growth so let this be your reminder. Learn more about the No BS Mama Support Sesh HEREThis opportunity is for you if:You find yourself losing your shit more often then you'd likeYou want to finally ditch those constant feelings of stress, overwhelm and anxietyYou want to tap in to a more calm, patient and present version of yourselfYou want to prioritize your self-care and your mental health but you're not sure how or where to startConnect with Megan:Connect with Megan on Instagram @thenobsmamaSend a voice memo hereJoin our free Facebook group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/202729591192181Join the email list!**Disclaimer** This podcast is not a substitute for mental health treatment.
