Create Personalized Rituals for your Self-Care Routine

Lauren discusses how to design a self-care routine that is in alignment with your personality and core values. She talks in detail about her own routine, including some of the struggles she’s had along the way. Time is our most valuable, nonrenewable resource. How we choose to use it can make all the difference in feeling happy, inspired, and valued. Self-care doesn't have to be as extravagant as an hour-long meditation or an entire spa day. It’s the tiny habits (or micro-routines) embedded into a busy schedule to help sustain you and keep you going. Lauren explains how her consistent rituals and routines have absolutely changed her life. She feels happier, healthier, and that she is her best “self”. It wasn’t easy, but she always remembered to give herself a little grace while making these changes. Remember…..a self-care routine is a work in progress. Start small and build your routine. Take time to reflect on what’s working and what’s NOT working, then make adjustments. Many of the rituals and routines discussed have ZERO costs. Plus, you can save LOTS of money on medical expenses since you are focused on your own preventative health care. Lauren’s routine has helped her find balance and mental clarity in her own life. Giving yourself a little TLC every day will go a long way and will help you to “show up” for the people in your life.  Lauren answers this week’s listener question during the episode: How can I be better at being present for struggling youth?
