When I started on my own journey, I didn’t really know what I wanted. I only knew that I had checked all of the boxes of a “good” life, one that I thought I had been working toward, and I still felt unfulfilled. And I wanted more.

Part of that is what led me into coaching. In working with clients, I find that it’s often easy to generalize – life is great or life is awful. Or sometimes it’s more middle-of-the-road – everything is “okay”. But it’s rare that EVERY area of life is the same. Usually, there are some areas that are doing pretty well, and others that just aren’t working.

If the first thing you think when you hear the words “self-care” is “I don’t have time”, this episode is for you.

In order to maximize your benefits, we need to throw the one-size-fits-all approach out the window. Taking time to really think about what you enjoy is a great place to start.  

It's often the feeling attached to the activity as much as the activity itself...feel free to start small - go for quality over quantity when it comes to incorporating self-care. An added benefit? When you feel better, you’re more productive, so if you make your own needs a priority you may find that you actually have more time and energy to handle your other obligations. 

The most important thing is for you to actually try something today - see how much better you feel! I’d love to hear what you’ve done - DM me on Instagram at www.instagram.com/jennylytleRN

I became passionate about self-care due to my own struggles with burnout as well as the death of my mom. The more I've talked with women since then, the more I realize how putting ourselves last has become the norm and even something that is encouraged by some.  I don't believe in being selfish, but taking the time to care for ourselves allows us to show up as our best selves for those we love.
