35. What actually counts as “self-care”?

from Get Wellthy Hosted by Michelle Smith

What do you think about when you hear the word self-care? A 5 star resort? Or something more simplistic like an uninterrupted shower? Over the last several years, the meaning of self-care in our culture has morphed. While bringing this idea to light has definitely helped some realize the need to slow down and fill their cups, it has also given others a warped sense of the phrase, leaving them to believe that they are undeserving or not in need of the “luxury” of self-care. Today, we are diving into what true self-care is and why it’s essential for all of us. Not only will you leave this episode with a clear understanding of what self-care is, but you will walk away with tactical steps on how to begin identifying what you are currently lacking in the self-care realm. Life is crazy, and in a world that encourages productivity over sanity, it’s easy to feel depleted. Taking care of yourself is not a luxury, it’s a basic human need. Listen today to learn more! Episode Highlights: Michelle makes up yet another new word, and Brad is not having it. Michelle and Brad share what self-care is to them. Why self-care is a basic need and looks different for all of us. Tactical steps to take to begin implementing necessary self-care. The importance of having a hobby.
