Episode Summary: 

In today’s episode of the Rise Station Podcast, Prunella Harris debunks the five most common myths about self care that people have been holding onto for generations. She also talks about the importance of self care and how to find a balance between one’s physical, mental, and spiritual self care.

 

Rise Tribe Takeaways: 

• We need to remember to break out of societal expectations and make our self-care a priority.
• Being empathetic and giving is great but it is in no way selfish to prioritize your own needs.
• You’re with yourself every moment of your existence. Not having time for yourself is just a matter of not having the right priorities. 
• Self care is not just about bubble baths and pedicures. It’s about putting in the work to ensure your emotional, physical, and mental well-being. 
• Doing good to others may make you happy but it doesn’t constitute self care.
• Not everything that gives you pleasure or soothes you (such as alcohol or drugs) is a part of self care.
• Self care is supposed to help your body function optimally.
• Improving Physical Self Care:

1. Get enough sleep.
2. Eat healthy.
3. Get massages, soaking baths and pedicures, etc. 

• Improving Mental Self Care:

1. Feed healthy inputs to your mind. 
2. Learn a new skill.
3. Manage your thoughts and emotions.

• Improving Spiritual Self Care: 

1. Allow only those things into your spirit that align with you.
2. Use devotionals, prayer, meditation or retreats to find the balance.
3. Get intentional about who you allow into your circle.
