Self-Care It Up

In this episode, Pamela and I discuss what self-care is, how to implement it into our lives, and what it can look like. We start by telling a story of self-discovery where Kyle talks about what he used to think when he heard the word "self-care". We find that when we live busy lives, self-care becomes a necessary component to resting and recuperating enough to continue striving and working towards our goals. It was a shift in perspective that allowed both Pamela and Kyle to find the necessity of self-care in their own lives. It became a "need" instead of just a "want". A great way to implement self-care is to own your mornings. To have rituals. Reactivity can be a sign that you may need to have some self-care time. Exercise and movement is self-care. We don't always feel like doing it, but it's good for our health, our weight, and our hormones. Learning new skills can be a form of self-care. It forces us to stay in the present moment. We have to find out what refills our cup, then we must work to protect it.
