Episode 28 : Do As I Say, Not As I Do: Self-Care Strategies and Routine

Send us Fan MailWe start each day early with a daily meditation, a little yoga, and an intentional breakfast, and end each day by winding down gently until we drift off to a restful 8 hours of sleep.  Just kidding.  Welcome to Therapists IRL, Episode 29, where Steph and Jen talk about the importance of a daily routine in self-care and emotional well-being, while simultaneously confessing their mutual rebellion against routine. Per usual, we're keeping it real. Besides forgetting how old we are, we share our own struggles when it comes to self-care and daily routine, talk about a few things we're managing to do well, and set a few intentions around things we'd like to work on.Resources:101 Essays that will Change the Way You Think, The Psychology of Daily Routine, by Brianna WiestSelf-Care Isn't Selfish, blog by Jen No therapists were harmed in the making of this episode,  but vulnerability hangovers are real.Please note: While our podcast aims to destigmatize and normalize mental health issues, increase awareness, foster understanding,  and offer support with love and laughter, we are not a substitute for professional mental health advice or treatment.  [Read our full disclaimer here.]If you're struggling, we encourage you to reach out to a licensed therapist, counselor, or healthcare provider.
