How to Take Care of Yourself- The Easy Way


Listen Later

What is the secret to real self-care? How can we move from self-care to soul care? 

If you’re feeling burned out or overwhelmed, or maybe you’re just going through the motions, this episode is for you! 

Today’s show features one of my favorite chapters from my newest book, Remaining You While Raising Them: The Secret Art of Confident Motherhood, and it’s all about one magic question that will change how you care for yourself. 

If you are not a mom or are not actively in your mothering years, I hope you’ll stick around! The magic question we are talking about today is something that will help you in every season of life. 

Join me for this chapter to hear: 

  • Why so many women struggle with what it looks like to take care of ourselves

  • One magic question you can ask to help you care for yourself in a practical way

  • A modification to the magic question if you find it hard to answer (most women do, especially at first!)

  • Six things to consider when you’re deciding if someone’s opinion has merit in your life

  • The permission slip you may need to have your needs met

  • Favorite quotes:

    • “Slacker parenting” was my tongue-in-cheek way of saying that parents have permission to focus on the majors, not the minors. Not every little thing has to be perfect.”
  • “We do not have to play by anyone else’s rules or live up to their expectations.”
  • “Our biggest issue is asking ourselves what we need.”
  • “As we mother our children, we need to learn to mother ourselves too.”
  • “My relationship with God is the most fulfilling thing in my life. My family brings me deep joy and happiness but my relationship with God gives my life meaning and purpose.”
  • “Asking “What do I need right now?” is a smart first step in getting your needs met.”
  • “The magic question will not only help you survive motherhood, it will also help you thrive in light of the promise that God sees your needs and supplies them.”
  • Coaching this week: 

    1. How to shift your mindset for perspective and freedom. (28:23)
