159 What does Self-Care Really Mean?

Self care has been bandied around for years now hasn’t it - and while I will always talk about the vital need for us all to engage in self care, I also know that some of us have maybe grown a bit weary of the phrase. And that it can feel like yet another stick to beat ourselves up with when we’re not doing self care the way we are supposed to.But look, I’m not about to stop banging this drum any time soon, so what I want to talk about today is what self care really looks like, how it can look inside a busy life, and to also tackle a misconception or two around exactly what self care is and how we can engage in it in a truly positive way. Including:-Honouring your boundaries-Becoming aware of how stress is serving you right now-Making sleep a priority-Practicing gratitude-Connecting with yourself-Movement - ANY movement-Working on your self esteem and confidence Resources: -My website https://www.chickfit.co.uk/-Find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/alixchickfit-Review and subscribe to my podcast https://www.podfollow.com/chickfit
