Podcasts about why self care

If you're struggling with automatic reactions, especially when you knew there was a better way to respond, then this episode is for you. We discuss the importance of observation and how you can try two simple exercises to help develop that sweet, slow moment where you can show up as you really want to be. Let's go.

If you're constantly trying to control someone or something out there to feel at ease, then you're missing one very important principle that could change everything. It's the fact that your brain simply has thoughts. Doesn't matter if it's a good thought or a bad thought. If you BELIEVE you are the thought, then there are far fewer options to execute from, because the thought operates from a very limited perspective. Listen to this episode as we dive deeper into this subject so that you can tap into more of your true personal power.

If you've ever wondered how you could “toughen up” so that you don't ever have to feel “bad” again, well, this episode is for you. There's a nuance we must catch between an emotional reaction vs. an emotional response. An emotional reaction is when we react more to the story in our mind than the fact of what just happened. An emotional response is when we have a natural biological response to what just happened. However, more often than not, most people think that feeling “bad” is a weakness. But, what if feeling upset is absolutely valid? Wouldn't it be worse if we were apathetic, shut down, or unresponsive? There's no need to add suffering to pain. Listen now.

In this powerful episode, Bridget shares her inspiring health journey—moving from frustration with weight gain, over-exercising, and gut health struggles to finding balance through faith and wellness. We dive deep into why midlife health feels so challenging, how over-exercising can actually harm progress, and the surprising truths about protein intake and inflammation.Bridget opens up about how the Fast to Faith program transformed her mindset and health, emphasizing the importance of nourishing the body, listening to God's guidance, and embracing rest without guilt. If you're feeling stuck in your health journey or seeking clarity on how to balance fitness, faith, and nutrition, this conversation offers encouragement, insight, and actionable tips.If you liked this episode, watch it on youtube!

If you've ever wanted to see Personalization at work, then this is your episode. We're breaking down how one circumstance remains the same, and yet how multiple people can have different experiences. And when we're not careful, when we are not conscious of what is happening, we can easily get lost in other people's emotional reaction and lose sight of what really matters to you. Listen now.  

No, this isn't about how you dress, etiquette, or even how you speak in the workplace. This is about your internal hygiene that then speaks volumes for itself. If you struggle with feeling too sensitive, being too empathic toward other people's needs, and this is getting in the way of your own well-being… Then you don't want to miss this episode of the Stressproof Podcast. Today we're diving into concepts around knowing your space, delineating between what you feel vs what other people feel, and understanding who's movie you're in. Let's go.  

Most Empathic Executives reach a point where they realize it's no longer about ‘fast action' aka all of the emails, meetings, conversations, and things you can do to get the job done. We consider looking for a new role, perhaps early retirement, or even worse, downgrading our position. But wait, when you look around you're also noticing that you have the exact same skills (if not more!) than that one person who happens to sail seamlessly through one project after another. What gives? This is where we talk about Leadership Pull or Push. You're either contracting or expanding. And people feel that. Listen to this episode as we dive deeper. Let's go.  

You can be the smartest, quickest, and even kindest person in the world, but if you're practicing fear, worry or control… Well, those wonderful traits won't be the first thing someone else notices. Most people believe that something is wrong with them because of the result that they see in their lives. But what most don't realize is that the result has nothing to do with YOU, per se, rather it has everything to do with what you practice on a daily, even minute by minute basis. I dive into this and more, and you don't want to miss this one. Let's go.  

It's impossible to have the same energy and the same type of goals year after year. Let's face it, we're going to be in a different season of our lives, and the new year isn't the time to feel bad about not having “that kind of goal”. In this episode, we discuss seasons, the different energies to match those seasons, and what it means to focus on virtues instead of quantitative goals (because we're pros on that one). Let's start the year evaluating what means the most to you, and that starts on the inside first. Listen now.

Did you know that you're the main character of your life? Most people would say yes, but if we were to play a movie of your life guess who'd be on the main screen 90% of the time? That's right. A side character. Somehow the side characters have made it to the spotlight and we weren't even aware of it. Listen to this podcast as we delve into what it means to be the main character vs a side character and why it's so important to focus on YOU, so that you can continue shining your light, your purpose, and your desires. Let's go.  

The #1 mistake most Stressed Out Successes make in trying to be more confident is that they focus on being perfect. Perfect in choosing the right words, how they appear, and especially getting specific project driven results. But have you ever met someone this perfect, and they were definitely NOT magnetic? Well, then it's time to dissect what is truly necessary in order to grow your magnetic energy. Listen now as I discuss the Top 3 traits every magnetic person has, and how you can cultivate more of your own magnetic energy. Let's go.  

Most people get caught up in the DOING in order to feel un-stressed. Doing, which we call Fast Action, might look like firing off that email, scheduling that meeting (right away), or worse, doing the work yourself in order to fix the problem so that we can get rid of feeling stressed. Unfortunately these leads to a vicious cycle where we get stuck in reactionary mode each time a problem arises. In this episode of the Stressproof podcast we're breaking down why it's not about the doing, but rather why we need to THINK differently under stress in order to BE the type of person that doesn't react toward similar situations and or people. Listen now!  

Episode 29: Don't Be Invisible Over 50   Ladies, forget “fading” with age. Hilary Silver is here to bust that myth wide open and show you how aging can crank up your confidence and magnetism. In this episode, she shuts down “Invisible Woman Syndrome”—a tired idea that women lose their spark over time. At 52, Hilary is thriving! She's strutting into every room with a presence that demands attention, not for validation, but because she knows exactly who she is.   Episode Highlights: Confidence isn't about them. It's all about you! Forget the validation and focus on what you bring to the table. It's confidence that sticks. Beauty beyond skin deep, always. True allure? It's all about knowing your worth from the inside out and embracing every quirk and flaw unapologetically. Forget the outdated belief that life's peak is behind you. Hilary's here to tell you that 50+ is when the fun actually begins—wisdom, realness, and all! Age isn't a limit; it's leverage! Taking care of yourself is self-respect. Hilary shares why treating yourself right isn't optional if you want to radiate confidence. Prioritize self-care because it's a reflection of how much you value yourself. To truly turn heads, you have to be fully there. Hilary breaks down how presence is more than just posture—it's the energy you bring and the intention behind it.   Episode Breakdown: [00:00] Busting the "Invisible Woman" Myth [01:25] Redefining Confidence and Aging [02:28] Turning Heads Starts with Self-Perception [04:14] Owning Your Worth [05:50] Authenticity is Your Best Accessory [06:43] Why Self-Care is Self-Respect [08:30] Making Your Presence Known [10:07] Final Thoughts on Confidence at Every Age   Start living unapologetically to turn heads wherever you go!   Catch Hilary's free, paradigm-flipping resources for more insights into confidence that lasts: https://hilarysilver.com/guides/

Most Stressed Out Successes remain stuck in the problem, and more specifically the feeling of the problem, because they are continuing to behave as the old version of themselves that is thinking the same Personalization, thoughts, feelings, and therefore actions that keep them in this loop. If you find yourself relating to this, then you must realize that practicing this way of being is only keeping the problem alive. Listen to this episode as we talk about becoming the master inside of you. A new version of you that is beyond the problem.  

Just because you feel stress doesn't mean you have to BE stressed, or even believe the problem must be solved in order for you to feel relief. Using control to remove problems only leads to further exhaustion (as problems never end!). Listen as we discuss how to separate from stress and what it takes to preserve your energy for greater good.  

‘Most of us don't think twice about investing time and care into our children, maybe our parents and friends and our work, but it can be a different story when it comes to your own self-care. So whether you're a busy parent juggling home and work life, or you're an aspiring business person, enjoying the… Continue reading SLP 416: Why Self-Care is Essential with Kim Morrison The post SLP 416: Why Self-Care is Essential with Kim Morrison appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

Most people I have the great pleasure of working with have no problem with integrity. They strive to be a virtuous leader, empathic, and respectful throughout the day. This part comes easy for them. The type of integrity I want to discuss with you today is about Self Integrity. Being virtuous to yourself. Catching every thought and word you speak to yourself, knowing you're the most important person in your own life. We discuss this and more in today's episode. It's so important and I'm excited to share it with you. Listen now.  

The biggest cause for the lack of Leadership Presence is because most Stressed Successes are focusing all of their attention and energy on the problem out there. And what does our diligent brain love to do? Obey our command. So if we're focusing on a past event or a probable future (usually negative), then that gives us very little energy to focus on what actually matters which is - ourselves. And the ironic question we have to ask is, “Where can we affect the most change and who can do it?” The answer is, “Here and me”. And yet, most people continue to harp on the past and worry about the future and act from THAT place, which is not the present moment nor is that state of being the most effective. In this episode of the Stressproof Podcast we're going to break down the mechanism of the brain (and what to do about it) and how to start feeling into a different state so that YOU can begin to effect change here and now.  

If you've been yearning for a change in your life then the truth of the matter is you have to become someone new. Someone who thinks and behaves differently when they wake up in the morning, speaks to their team, and most certainly the energy they emanate. In this episode of the Stressproof Podcast we're going to be talking about what it takes to become someone new and why you can't miss this important step. Listen now.

In this episode I talk to you about the importance of self-care for your high sensitivity.The reason why it is so important is because of our sensitivity, because we feel everything so deeply, because we absorb the energy of other people, and we absorb the energy of our environment.That is why our self care routine always has to be of the highest quality and highest priority, this is something I teach my private clients as part of their therapy.Without the gift of sensitivity people can probably go a while without prioritising their self-care, although self-care should be a priority for all.However for you with your high sensitivity that really isn't an option, your self-care is as important as breathing.You really want it to become second nature, something that you do naturally and know it is of the upmost importance.In this episode you will learn:Why Self-Care is Important for Highly Sensitive SoulsWhat you can expect to experience if you are unable to make yourself a priorityWhat the key is to embracing your gift of sensitivityPersonal Committment StatementSelf-Care Strategies Designed with Your Sensitivity in MindDownload the personal committment statementBlog: How to stop avoidance behaviourI trust this episode has served you and you now understand why you need to prioritise your self-care as a highly sensitive soul.Angel BlessingsNicoleGet in touch!

What if you could access peace even amidst a high tension meeting, hundreds of emails, or even traffic? Do you really need an Empty Mind to access presence and deep spaciousness? The short answer is no. Absolutely not. And we're breaking it all down in today's podcast. YOU ARE the awareness, the deep spaciousness that is presence. Let's talk about it. Listen now.

Most people think we have a deep relationship with ourselves but mostly, we have a relationship to the THOUGHTS we have about our life, job, relationships, and even ourselves! Which is why how we feel about any one of those things can be up or down depending on what we think about it at any given moment. But… What about you? What if how you felt about YOU stayed constant, connected, and deeply rooted because it wasn't based on what went right or wrong, but simply because you have a deeply, powerful relationship to the deeper awareness that IS you? One way to access that part of you is something called Empty Mind and we dive into this topic in this week's podcast. Listen as I share how one random experiment with quitting social media for 30 days led me to my Empty Mind moment and how we can continue to practice Empty Mind in our daily lives.

If you've ever achieved that dream job, role, house, trip, you name it and STILL felt that all too familiar eerie feeling of, “Is this it?”, then you might be missing out on Joy Deposits. Joy Deposits are the investment we make along the way so that we practice and therefore BECOME the person that can meet that achievement with full RECEIVERSHIP. We can't practice the same Personalization of stress and worry and expect something external to us to suddenly change the software INSIDE of who we have been practicing being. Joy Deposits can help change that over time but it will require practice. Learn more about it here and why this can be the key to feeling more joy, harmony, and peace in your life. Listen now.

In last week's Weekend Wellness we discussed the 3 TYPES of Thinking, and this week on the podcast we're now discussing the 3 LEVELS of Thinking. Most people are living in Level 1 where they believe everything they are thinking to be true and even a fact in their life. The risk we take when we remain in Level 1 is that we automate our day and how we show up without even questioning, “Is this the kind of result I want today?” or the even deeper question, “What am I creating that is allowing for this experience?”. Once you realize this isn't about rearranging your environment or your outer world so that you can be at peace, but rather, this is about a deeper freedom within you already… That's when the game really begins to change. Tune in to learn more about each level so that we can create our life from a much deeper purpose. YOU are the answer. Listen now.

In today's episode of the Strong Jon Fitness Podcast, I am joined by Rhonda Danyluk, owner of Healthy Concepts. Rhonda helps dog moms live their best lives through nutrition, fitness, and family balance. She shares her journey from being a vet tech to becoming a nutrition and fitness coach, with a focus on canine fitness.  Here are some of the key takeaways from our conversation: Setting non-negotiables and minimums for self-care is essential, even if it's just five minutes a day. Balancing personal and family responsibilities requires letting go of unrealistic expectations and sharing the load with partners and children. A time audit can help identify opportunities for self-care and prioritize activities that bring joy and fulfillment. Small changes and habits can have a compounding effect over time, leading to significant improvements in overall well-being. Grieving the loss of certain roles and stages in life is a natural part of the transition to new responsibilities and priorities. Open communication and support are essential for balancing family life and fitness goals. And there are so many more!

If you've ever asked yourself the questions such as: “Why did I do that?” “How could I have been so stupid?” “What's wrong with me?” “How could I have missed something like that?” THINKING that these questions are somewhat logical or useful to repeatedly ask yourself… Well, this is a form of talking negatively towards yourself because the question (and answer) is rooted in lack. This is why (surprise surprise) we never feel good about ourselves when we ask such questions. In this week's episode we break down negative speech towards ourselves and how we can break this pattern so that we can start thinking in a solution oriented way that gets us closer to who we want to be and our precious goals. Listen now.

Why do we suddenly feel like an imposter and lose our confidence when something shifts at work? Maybe it's a new project, new boss, new JOB that makes us wonder, “Do I really have what it takes to do this?”. What's funny is that up until this point you (and others) considered yourself a bad a*$ that can handle anything that came your way. And yet, where did that energy go? After all, you have the same brain and technical skills… so, what happened? In this episode I'll be discussing this and how it all comes down to your Personalization and why we need to shift this BACK to your personal power, your inner authority, instead of constantly relying on an external source to validate our next step. If you've been struggling with a shift in your job that is having you question your life, then you don't want to miss this episode. Listen now.

We think we're being logical when we are thinking about a problem inside our mind but is that really true? Is hashing out a worst case scenario and a thousand mitigation plans (over and over again) really solving anything… now? Believe it not, we can listen to the voice inside our head and get lost with too many options and very little action. This is when the External Voice comes into play. And by that, I mean being your own mediator OUT LOUD. Listen as I share this simple yet highly effective tool for being able to bring yourself back into THIS moment, where YOU are, so that you can take real action that makes an impact. You got this.

Many people thought they'd find relief from not seeing ‘that' stakeholder in meetings, especially when the pandemic hit. And yes, relief ensued! That is, until people got over the novelty of virtual meetings. Surprisingly, many people came to discover that despite the physical distance between themselves and the people they were meeting… The stress and anxiousness also returned. In this episode, we're breaking down why physical distance doesn't matter and more importantly, what to do in virtual meetings so that you have more peace and more confidence. Listen now.

When we're navigating NEW territory, sometimes it can be hard to know exactly what we should be thinking or what we should be doing because hey, we've never done this before right? And when we're not careful, we can lean towards shame, guilt, or imposter syndrome because of this internal state of confusion as we search for the truth. In this episode of the Stressproof Podcast, we're diving into understanding exactly what IS the truth. By the end of this episode you'll have a deeper appreciation for your process, AND you will better navigate situations when multiple people are sharing a variety of opinions. You got this. Listen now.

If you've ever felt helpless while encountering a problem at work, then you want to learn about Problem Ownership. Oftentimes when we lack Problem Ownership, we give our agency over to the world or to other people, and on a subconscious level we're saying that how we get to feel, what we get to do with OUR OWN LIVES, is up to the other person and how THEY show up. Problem Ownership is about realizing your own options and owning up to your own inner authority so that you understand just how much more control YOU have. Listen now and share this with someone you love. You got this.  

Nowadays, it's easy to feel like we live in a never-ending cycle of burnout. While there's a lot of advice on how to recover from burnout (up your self-care game), it is woefully inadequate when it comes to addressing the root causes of burnout. In today's episode, we talk about how to escape the cycle of burnout once and for all.Join executive leadership & career coach Rikki Goldenberg, conscious leadership & executive coach Justin Mulvaney, and licensed clinical psychologist turned creator coach Corey Wilks as we discuss all that and more.0:00 Cold Open0:55 Show Intro and Today's Topic: Burnout3:26 How do we think about Burnout?24:13 The Six Causes of Burnout30:34 How do you know that you're Burning out?36:04 How we create Burnout in our life43:53 What do I do when I'm burning out?1:00:26 Why Self-Care isn't the cure for Burnout1:05:20 WrapupLearn more about the hosts:https://www.rikkigoldenberg.com/https://justinmulvaney.com/https://coreywilkspsyd.com/Intro Music:http://www.aaronwaltersmusic.com/

Hello...thanks for listening! Join my Love Letters (Newsletter) ⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠! (Where I send words of encouragement, tips, deals and freebies to you before anyone else!) ~~~~~~~~~~ Happy Winter Solstice! We'll take a break from my podcast series 'Work How You Are' to celebrate Winter Solstice! I love Winter Solstice because it means that the days are getting longer! This year's Winter Solstice started on Thursday, December 21, 2023 so it has recently started! You'll start to notice minute by minute and minutes by minutes that the days will start to get longer! And then in March it will be time to 'Spring Ahead' and set the clocks forward one hour (every state except Arizona) so the days will be even longer. (I'm in the US) ;-) This is an 'accessible' podcast! Here is the ⁠transcript⁠ and 'play' button directly from Castmagic! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Erin Perkins with MabelyQ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for 'schooling' me on transcripts for the Deaf Community! I hope you enjoy this short episode! On Saturday, January 6, 2024 at 6:00PM Eastern Time we'll continue with the 'Work How You Are 1.0' (WHYA) Podcast Series (PS) for the sixth and final interview with Punam Saxena titled 'Ep 83 Why Self-Care and Support Systems are Needed in Life and in Business'! Starting the year off right and what better than with self-care and support?! Get excited! Elizabeth ~~~~~~~~~~ Show Notes and Mentions: Ep 41 Looking Forward to Longer Days ~~~~~~~~~~ This podcast episode is brought to you by my Podcast Series titled "Work How YOU Are"! I got this idea because a lot of jargon in the online biz world is "this worked for me so it will work for YOU" when we're all individuals and a lot of us are multi-passionates and we don't want to effing "niche down". Lol!  I felt like "why do these programs seem to work for everyone else but not me?" "Am I broken?" And "what's wrong with me?" We're not broken y'all...the 'process' is! Because we're all individuals and what works best for one of us doesn't mean that it will work best for all of us. Can I get an Amen? ....for example, I am an introvert, and a highly sensitive person and an empath, a Manifesting-Generator in Human Design and most recently, that I have an ADHD brain (!) One speaker will talk about 'Shiny Object' and why it's not a "bad" thing, One speaker will talk about working with ADHD, And another on working as an Introvert in an Extroverted world, and many more! ~~~~~~~~~~~ Ways to support this podcast if this episode was of value to YOU. :) Most take less than 2 minutes! ;-) 1.

Welcome to the Pure Nurture Book Club! Grab a cup of tea and soak up chapter 1 entitled, Why Self-Care is Important from my book, Pure Nurture—A Holistic Guide to a Healthy Baby. (It's only 13 minutes.) I wrote this book to pass on self-care tips I wish my friends would've shared with me while I was pregnant because the development of our babies is closely related to how we take care of ourselves. I hope you find new ways to feel your best because self-care is NOT a luxury. It's vital. Each chapter of my book will relate to another book or guest I've had on the podcast so you can dive deeper on whatever intrigues you. As always, take in what feels right for you and forget the rest! In this episode, you will hear: Magical Beginnings, Enchanted Lives: A Holistic Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth book by Deepak Chopra You don't need to apologize for saying no The Natural Pregnancy: Your Complete Guide to a Safe, Organic Pregnancy and Childbirth with Herbs, Nutrition, and Other Holistic Choices book by Dr. Aviva Romm Episode 076: C*/id-19, Pregnancy, Birth, and Breastfeeding with Dr. Aviva Romm I'm curious. What motherhood books do you recommend? DM me on Instagram — I'd LOVE to hear from you! Next week, we'll dive into chapter 2 of my book - Nutrition and Nourishment. Bye for now.

Did you know there are two major ways in which people receive feedback? That's right. Most people fall into a category of using an Internal Compass or an External Compass and depending on which you use it can drastically change the way you receive (or even give) feedback. This is why one person can walk up to a stage to receive their MVP of the year award and not even believe they deserve it despite the fact that everyone is whistling and clapping for them, whereas another person can walk up and fully enjoy their moment. I dig into this and so much more on this week's podcast. Listen now.

Ever feel like you're trying SO hard to fix this one problem in your environment or maybe even about yourself and yet…. No matter how hard you try things just don't seem to change? If you're nodding yes, then don't worry.  Because in this week's episode I'm covering the 3 mistakes that most well intentioned people make that are keeping them STUCK in the problem with little to no progress.

Most people give up on their ambitions and career goals because they believe you're either wired to handle stress and thrive in chaotic environments - or not. Unfortunately, this type of thinking has led to downgrades in careers and quitting before realizing one very important thing: Stress-ability. Everyone has Stress-ability and has the capacity to strengthen and increase stress-ability. Just like how we would never tell someone who's never lifted weights, “You can't handle those pounds of pressure” (because we know with the right training and practice they CAN.) Why do we think that we can't increase our own capacity to increase our level of conscious thinking and levels of emotional space no matter where we are in our career or how old we are? You absolutely can because everyone has stress-ability (just like how everyone has muscle!). If you're struggling with stress and are starting to believe “it must be me”... then you don't want to miss this episode. Listen now!

Most people stuck in the Stressed Success Cycle make this hidden mistake hoping it will solve the problem, only to realize later it was keeping them stressed. And that is…. Fast Action. Fast Action is an action you take to “get it over with” so that you can remove the problem and feel better. But this is like trying really hard to pedal faster so that you can reach your destination, only to realize you have a flat tire. Fast Action is pedaling faster without realizing that Fast Action isn't the solution! And that is exactly what so many smart people are doing. They are working HARDER hoping to feel better and get a different result, when really…. We need to take an entirely different approach. Listen to this episode where we break it all down.

What if you could borrow from your FUTURE dreams?  Instead of waiting around for some future thing or person to be in your life, what if you could live every day, TODAY, as if you are living your dream right now? Here's the thing most people don't realize… You ARE on that path right now! This IS part of the dream, in order for it to be achieved. Without this part of what you are doing, your future dream would only exist in the future… So why not enjoy yourself today? I break this down even further and also talk about why BELIEF has to come first if you want to achieve your dreams with 100% confidence.

As a mom, taking care of yourself can seem impossible when you have little ones. Especially as a new mom, all your focus goes to your baby, and me-time is nonexistent. But taking care of yourself is essential and is more than taking a shower. Although taking a shower is helpful to unwind and necessary for basic hygiene, several self-care ideas have been shared in pop culture that isn't what you actually need. Pedicures, massages, and weekends away are great but aren't going to help you long-term. In this episode, I share some not-so-sexy self-care ideas to help you flourish and be your best self.

Julie is the founder of the Life Designer® Coach Academy, a certification for life coaches, and a professor at Georgetown University.

To learn more about Julie and how she might support you on your You-est You journey, go to juliereisler.com.   Let's get one thing straight here, you are the one living with yourself for hopefully a very long time. Taking care of yourself; mind, body, emotionally, and spiritually is one of the kindest things you can do for, yes, yourself, but also for others around you and the world. No one will ever be able to care for you the way you can, and although it might feel awkward at first, or even wrong, don't let that deter you from making self-care a priority. Here's why...you were probably raised in a society, culture, family, or maybe even religion that told you spending time on yourself is selfish. Like many of us, you might have beliefs and thoughts about the importance of putting others first. We're often taught that to be a good person is to put others first. I'm going to share why this is faulty thinking and can lead you down the path of overwhelm, burnout, and even chronic illness.     Self-care is Self-love The bottom line is that the more you take care of yourself, the more you have to help others. The more aligned, grounded, hopeful, healthy, and well you feel, the more you have to give these qualities to others you love and care about. As Oprah shares in many of her motivational talks, your cup must runneth over so you can give from a full cup, not an empty one.     Redefining Selfish Ok, let's come clean here. How many of you feel guilty even seeing the word selfish? I'm guessing most of you felt some pang of discomfort reading that word. Let's agree that our society has created a negative connotation around being selfish. It's used in arguments to suggest that you care about yourself more than your spouse, partner, child, parent, or friend. Somehow you are deemed a ‘bad' person by focusing on your own needs or desires and wants first. There is an inherent negative judgment wrapped up in this word. Being called selfish is usually not what we're aiming to hear or be associated with. Here's the secret, everyone by definition is ‘selfish' because you can only come from your own viewpoint, from your view within yourself. You by default have a personalized filter that sees the world by the sum total of your past experiences. This is natural and part of how we're designed. I'm not saying that you should care only about yourself and live a myopic existence. What I am conveying, is that in order to give fully and be a contribution to your family, friends, careers, society, and the world, you need to take care of your full self; mind, body, and soul. As defined, selfishness can be described as being concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself (Merriam-Webster dictionary). In contrast, I propose that the word self-full could be defined as concerned with or responsible for the care of yourself; mind, body, and soul. It's important to be filled up and feel full within yourself. Not full of yourself, but full within you. No one else, not your significant other or best friend, can do that or give that to you, nor are they responsible for your fulfillment.      Why Self-Care is NOT Selfish Here's the other irony about being selfish, and read this carefully. The. Most. Important. Relationship. Is. The. One. With. Yourself. No matter what anyone else tells you, you can't argue with the fact that you will be with yourself for the rest of your life. You can't give away what you don't have. If you are focused only on giving to everyone else, then you become depleted, frustrated, annoyed, cranky, and low energy. Giving from a place of depletion does not lead to loving acts of kindness, service, or being your truest, you-est you. First, you must give yourself permission. By giving yourself the permission and time to engage in self-loving acts, you are giving those around you permission to do this as well. The same is also conversely true.     Become Full in Yourself Here's why being “self-full” is good for you: Picture this scenario: you know how it goes though; you get up and snooze, only to have enough time to get your teeth brushed, a shower (if you're lucky) and your children's lunch in their bag (if they're lucky) with breakfast on the go in the car. It is on those kinds of days, that being self-full is that much more important. I know in those crazy rushed moments, taking time to meditate, journal, focus on gratitude, and take myself to tea and a yoga class is essential for my health, mindset, well-being, and how I show up as a parent later that afternoon at carpool pick up. Some might say I'm selfish to take 2 hours to do these activities during the day. I've found that it's one of the most loving things I can do for myself, my family, and for others. Not to mention, I took time to lower my stress response, eat a nutrient-dense meal, move my body with mindfulness, and reboot after a challenging morning.    Some of the ways you can fill yourself up are through daily meditation, creating empowering vision boards, taking out processed food, drinking more water, doing some kind of movement and connecting with nature (I highly recommend hugging a tree - seriously) or just something you know that brings you joy. My typical daily practice is to do something self-full in each of these areas; mind, body, and soul. When I do, I feel calmer inside, focused, steady, vibrant, positive, and deeply connected to my higher self and purpose. This elevates all of my relationships, most importantly the one with myself. I encourage you to give yourself permission to be ‘selfish', in fact, redefine that way of being as self-full, understand the role it plays in your health; your mind, body, and soul, and know deep in your heart that a self-full you allows you to become to the truest, you-est you.     More Expert Tips For Greater Self-Care Having clear boundaries -- saying no to opportunities, invites, and anything that is not a full yes Daily meditation or mindfulness practice (consistency is key) -- start small with a 5-minute guided meditation, breathwork, or 20-minute nature walk Connect with others who bring you joy and raise your energy (in person as much as you can) Eating foods that truly nourish your body and energy (keep processed foods to a minimum and eat whole foods found in their natural form) Energy, sound, and aromatherapy healing practices like Reiki, 528 Hz sound frequencies, and sound bowls Work with a trained coach or therapist (or both) for greater clarity, healing, and empowerment around your goals   If you're eager to read my Bustle article, 6 Expert Tips for Finding Success Without Mental Health, click here.     If you are feeling ready to take exquisite care of your You-est You and are looking for more support, mentorship, and guidance around designing your best life and releasing negative old stories, patterns and beliefs, book a transformative breakthrough coaching session with me at https://juliereisler.com/mentorship.

How do we REALLY calm down at the core? With Yoga, for one thing. It's a 2000 year old practice proven to relieve stress. Suzanne talks to yogini Kashi Ananda   In the spirit of slowing down, I thought I'd do a two part over this episode and next on the root of calming ourselves deeply through yoga and mindfulness. Nothing unplugs us like these two ancient, venerable traditions… so it's time to talk to two experts in these fields.   This show begins with a bit of a chapter of my book, The Extremely Busy Woman's Guide to Self-Care, titled ‘Why Self Care is Not Ultimately About Time Management'. Because really? That's what it's all about –the stuff of life!   In this episode I interview Northern California yogini Kashi Ananda about what really makes yoga so very, very good at helping us slow down and go within. Personally, I've sworn by it for almost 40 years!   Among other things, we discussed:   What it is about yoga that helps cultivate the still mind What yoga is beyond the movements Does video yoga ‘work'? Suzanne's wild yoga experience while giving birth How to get started even if you think you can't do yoga Yoga for staving off midlife aging The magical flow that is Tri-Yoga   May you enjoy this as much as I did!   With love,     Suzanne     RESOURCES   Kashi Ananda Yoga   The Extremely Busy Woman's Guide to Self-Care     OUR GUEST   Kashi is the owner/director of Kashi Ananda Yoga (formerly Devi Yoga Center) in Sebastopol, CA. She is a senior teacher of TriYoga International, and studied with Yogini Kaliji, the founder of TriYoga since 1991. She is a yoga therapist approved by the International Association of Yoga Therapy (IAYT) and in addition to TriYoga Kashi holds certifications in Y12SR, Yoga of Recovery and Sivananda Yoga.   Kashi has over 30 years in teaching all aspects of yoga, meditation and philosophy in a variety of settings including group classes, private and semi-private sessions, corporate classes, children, teens, monthly workshops, retreats, teacher training, therapeutic yoga and most recently online classes and programs.   Her lifelong exploration of movement, breath and spirit has strongly influenced and guided her teaching style. Kashi creates a safe and joyful environment for students to learn the comprehensive practice of TriYoga which includes posture, breath and inner focus.   Kashi is an expert in taking students into the yoga journey, giving clear and precise guidance in all aspects of the flow. The devotion, dedication and compassion that she brings to her teaching, reflect her many years of study and dedication.

If you want to be (and feel) your best both in and out of the classroom, self care shouldn't be the last thing at the bottom of your to-do list. It should be your #1 responsibility. If teaching IS your life and you're constantly feeling drained because there's very little time for anything you love outside of school, you're approaching your career backwards. It's the time and space you give yourself outside of school that makes you the best teacher you can possibly be when you're there. Self care should be your first priority if you want to be the best teacher, wife, husband, mom, dad, friend, or anything else. It's what enables you to make your biggest contribution in the world. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Self Care should be considered the #1 requirement at the top of your job description as a teacher. The surprising (or not so surprising) truth found in recent research studies on productivity and overworking. 3 steps to start adding more self care into your life in simple and practical ways…. with a short list you can write down and work off of right away.

Why Self Care is NOT Selfish with Michelle Thompson Michelle Thompson spent over 20 years of her life as a business leader in corporate America, she learned, explored the world and evolved in so many ways. It was there that she uncovered one of her superpowers - leading and developing people. She slowly began living on autopilot. One day, Michelle woke up and realized there was more that she needed to do in this life. It became her mission to live with passion and purpose.

Thank you Newsstand Studio at 1 Rockefeller Plaza for providing a place for me to record this episode for y’all! No more Brooklyn closet recording!!!   Are you experiencing a lot of anxiety recently? Does it feel unsolvable? Like your anxiety attack will like it will never end? What if you had tools to help ease your anxiety in the moment?   As you know, May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we’re getting serious about mental health over here on The Refined Collective Podcast. Two weeks ago, I spoke with Trauma Therapist Kobe Campbell all about therapy (tune in here if you missed it). And last week, I shared my own experience with anxiety and practical ways to identify your anxiety triggers outside of the moment (tune in here if you missed it). This week, I wanted to share how you can stabilize your anxiety when you’re in the moment.   A Collective Anxiety Why are we experiencing so much anxiety? Collective depression + individual anxiety + trauma + relapses—from living in + through a pandemic — we’ve never done this before.  Brene Brown talks about FFT ‘It’s the F-ing first time’ Listen to her talk about it in this podcast episode. The older we get, the less we like trying new things. Trying new things is vulnerable and we don’t want to suck! Normalizing discomfort is our secret sauce Name it What’s coming up? THIS IS THE 1ST PANDEMIC! Perspective  This is not going to last forever Reality Check Nothing is going as planned and that’s okay   The Science of Anxiety Our thoughts activate our minds, then our minds activate the body, then our body activates fight or flight. Symptoms like: dizziness, head rush, tingling, heart palpitations, paranoia, hypervigilance, can’t breathe, legs feel like jelly   3 Parts of the Brain NeoCortex/Prefrontal Cortex: rational, logic, problem-solving  Limbic: emotions, feeling, memories Reptilian/Primal: survival When we’re triggered, the Primal Brain gets activated and the other two shut down. In order to reactivate the others, you have to let the Primal Brain know you’re safe.   How do you speak to the Primal Brain to reactivate other two parts of our brain?   4 Things to Do In the Moment: Pause Breathe Mindful breathing DO IT NOW // 4 DEEP INHALES + EXHALES This activates the parasympathetic nervous system, meaning you feel safe and your body stops pumping cortisol and adrenaline. Quitting cigarette smoking is hard, in part, because it involves deep breathing. BOXED BREATHING (Navy SEALs use this!) Try it now (4x) Simple truths: I am safe and at home in my body I am here. I can breathe. I can feel discomfort and still be safe Ground Fear removes us from the moment. Runaway train of thought. Worst case scenarios. Kate Eskuri spoke about grounding on the podcast last year.   “It’s that inner sense of calm even though the outside world might feel a little scattered.” - Kate Eskuri   Grounding Rituals What are five things I can see?  What are four things I can feel?  What are three things I can hear?  What are two things I can smell right now?  What is one thing I can taste?   Reflection Questions     Resources Brene Brown podcast episode about FFT TRC Ep 090: Why Self-Care is More Crucial Now Than Ever Before My calming Spotify playlist Moving Through Fear Guide Jackie Viramontzez meditation/EFT tapping TRC Ep 086: How Meditation Can Change Your Life   Stay tuned for next week’s episode, where I’ll lead a guided meditation!   It is finally HERE!

A Beautiful Guided Meditation of Self-Care The WISDOM podcast  Season 2  Episode 22 with Dorothy Ratusny   TIMESTAMPS: Podcast Intro:  0-2:10  |  Why Self-Care is More Important Than Ever:  2:12 |  You Excel When You Live in Balance and Self-Care:  3:27  |  The Self-Love WISDOM toolkit for the Best Self-Care Practices:  3:59  |  Honour Your Relationship With Yourself:  4:35  | Experience the Single Most Powerful Tool to Nourish You:  5:25 |  Self-Care Meditation:  6:26  |  Episode Final Notes:  46:34  |  Podcast Outro:  47:23      Right now and for whenever you may be listening, self-care is more important than ever. We need to know the tangible ways in which to nurture and care for our self and to know that this is an integral part of what sustains optimal mind, body, and spiritual health.   You, I, we all... have had moments where our body and mind begins to shut down, whether because of an emotional overload, or because of physical exhaustion.... yet have we done anything to circumvent this by our deliberate action; and because we have been able to sense a need and then to give that need to our self?   TRUTH SERUM:  When you shut down, you may look to your well practiced vices for giving you a boost; for allowing you to numb out or escape or push past what is healthy, to continue working hard; but ultimately, and the most successful and high achieving performers in all genres of life; know this; you excel when you live in balance and self-care and the nourishment that comes with the actions of self-love. You can be performing at a high level, but still live in balance; because of care, of attending to what the body and mind and the nonphysical spirit need in order to be in harmony; and to be one.   I've developed an entire program – a wisdom toolkit – consisting of the best self-care practices and a self care assessment that delivers the goods on what areas of your life are in need of care and nourishment right now. It is an extensive source of guiding wisdom for you to learn and practice self-care and self-love as an essential part of life. I will leave information on this for you right here:  The Self-Love WISDOM toolkit    In a time when we are being asked and indeed forced to spend more time with our self and without many of the typical distractions that cause us to disconnect, self-care is overlooked. It has not been deemed important or truly necessary – perhaps until now.   A-HA MOMENTS:  Your most important relationship has always been with yourself. Discover this – honour this, learn this and you will awaken a most incredible source of wonder and inner light that you have ever known.   Here, I invite you to get started. Use this beautiful guided meditation. PRACTICAL WISDOM:  Here, you experience not only the single most powerful tool to help nourish you and to support your body's infinite capacity for self healing and homeostatic balance, but you are guided into a journey in which to heal right now for whatever your body has needed; for whatever you have been neglecting, for what you need now.   Give yourself this time – this 30min – to witness the power of self-care through visualization, inner contemplation, and acts of self kindness and love. I will be right here with you every step of the way. Give this to yourself.   Sending you all of my love... Namaste! xo   *If you have a question or if you would like my guidance or help, please reach out to me.  You can find me at: dorothyratusny.com.   Find all Episodes here or on my website: https://www.dorothyratusny.com/wisdompodcast/   Love in your inbox?

Why Self Care is important & things we do to make it self care a habit. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The ​2nd installment of the Internal Wokeness series ​is indeed an episode you need to listen to. ​As we know, today's world is filled with a number of distractions, traumas, and stresses. It's so easy to be constantly on the go that we may forget how to slow down, stop, and reflect. This week's episode we ​highlighted the importance of establishing a healthy self​-​care routine that will align your mind, body​,​ and spirit with one another. We also noted that the term self-​care is more than a trending topic or buzz word​ -- it is a way of life; a mentality that will ultimately assist us all in the fight against social injustice. As Activist, Author, and Poet Audre Lorde stated, "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." We stand behind this statement because we recognize that during these stressful times in our culture, caring for others and fighting for our community can take a toll on one's mental& emotional health. Therefore it is important that we begin to fight for a space in which we can establish a way to care for ourselves, without feeling shameful when we decide to do so.  The first article, 45 Self-Care Practices for a Healthy Mind, Body, *& Soul published by tinybuddha.com serves as a guiding tool in establishing your own ways of self care, and provides several ideas you can incorporate in your daily life.  The second article we highlighted is titled, Healers of Color, on Why Self-Care is not Self-Indulgence. An article published by colorlines.com. This piece offers different explanations for why our community needs to learn how to care for and love one's self. We also noted that though embracing a healthy self care routine is not the final solution to achieving wholeness, it is one step in the process.  Finding one's rhythm and method requires willingness, commitment, and consistency. It is not something that establishes itself over night but instead takes time. Through this episode we hope to encourage all of you l to recognize it is okay to take time for yourself and get back to making sure you are good. The more we are able to establish a healthy love and relationship with ourselves the better we will be for our loved ones and our community. Peace!
