115 - Building A Mentality Of Self-Care

31 minutes

Annaliese and Alan talk about how self-care isn't just healthy practices — it's about building a holistic attitude of actually caring about yourself and how you feel and act in your life. If you shifted your attitude toward yourself, how might that open up your world? Self-care transforms who you think you are, what you think you're capable of, and what options you're able to see for yourself.

YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT:

Self-care isn't just about gathering ideas for joy or ways to feel better when you're stressed, sad, or overwhelmed — it's meant to help you become more authentically yourself through any of life's highs and lows, deeply shifting your attitude toward yourself along the way.

Finding and naming your current attitude about yourself is a powerful starting point. How do you treat yourself in your day-to-day moments? Are you dismissive or harsh when you're struggling? Notice the thoughts blocking you from caring about your own experience — like "Other people need to come first" or "I should just suck it up."

Things that can shift when you build a self-care mentality: other people's moods don't have to become yours, paying attention to yourself throughout the day grows your sense of worth, and taking care of yourself in the moment builds real proof that you matter.

Practicing An Attitude of Self-Care:

Give yourself permission — Notice where you're ruling yourself out. No one else gives you permission to care for and support yourself — only you can do that. You get to factor into your own decisions, and you deserve the freedom to choose what you need.

Ask yourself each day: "Have I looked my way today?" — When you practice being generous and compassionate with yourself, it becomes easier to offer that to others too. Checking in with yourself throughout the day is a key building block of feeling more connected and stable inside.
