Self care is the act of taking care of yourself, physically and mentally. It means making sure that you dedicate the time and effort to ensure that your needs are met.

When you were born, you were given one body and mind to live in. Your own little temple, so to speak. It is YOUR responsibility to nurture and care for it; to respect and honor it. It houses beautiful gifts and talents that are 100% uniquely your own. Inside lives a little child, and with self care, we offer that sweet child warmth, and comfort, and loving thoughts. That's OUR natural, God-given responsibility. To neglect it seems pretty bad now, doesn't it?

Yet, so many people carry a ridiculously unhealthy 'martyr' mindset, where they believe that their responsibility is to do everything for others 100% of the time. But acting the martyr is not heroic – it's a dysfunctional and toxic form of behavior that slowly eats away at your own sense of self, making you and others miserable. It is absolutely neglecting your primary responsibility: Which is to care for yourself, so that you are THEN capable of caring for others.

In this episode, we discuss the many forms of self care that you can incorporate into your life; and it isn't painful! Find your unique formula, and be on your way to honoring your mind, body and soul. You got this.
