Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s truly essential, if we want to be happy and have more to give to everyone around us. When we make self-care a regular practice, we are able to live our best lives and have more love to give. This special episode is based on my blog post, Self-care Isn’t Selfish, It’s Essential.
Listen as I talk about why self-care is important, how to get the self-care we need, being an introvert and getting necessary quiet time, and getting enough real connection as well. I walk you through a self-care check in to see where you are in 8 vital areas of self-care and talk about how you can develop new habits of self-care.
I also talk about meditation and mindfulness and share two of my favorite books for getting started with silent meditation.
