Self-Care that Brings Joy

  Show notes for Melinda Heath podcast “Lifestyle of Daily Joy” Episode #9 titled “Self-Care That Brings Joy”   “DEPENDING ON WHAT IS INSIDE OUR FILLED CUP, WILL DEPEND ON WHAT IS POURED FROM IT.” Melinda Heath   I am Melinda Heath. Thank you for choosing to be here at “Lifestyle of Daily Joy” and for hanging out with me in “Self-Care That Brings Joy” Alright as I mentioned in my last episode #8 “Meaning of Joy in Life” today we will be starting our self-care series. For those who have yet listened in on my first episode “The Foundation for an Abundance of Lifelong Joy”, it was in there that I mentioned it is my belief one of the foundations of an authentic joyful life has to do with how we view ourselves, the messages we feed our minds and spirits as well as what we believe to be true about us. For it is my personal opinion… this is not only part of the foundation of joy but also the foundation of self-care, the beginnings of true self-care…. And in this episode, I will be explaining why I feel it is. I tend to believe in the importance of understanding these concepts and ideas because Lifestyle of Daily Joy’s premise is how to create daily joy and a lifestyle of it and what our episode today consists of going hand in hand with that.   So while we are going through this series of self-care and continuing the mini-series of joy we will be slowly uncovering what it is, what it isn’t, the characteristics of it, and whether it differs from happiness or not, in which we did talk about these four ideas in Episode #8 “Meaning of Joy in Life” and so now, we will be expanding these ideas, giving them life….by talking about ourselves and what I believe to also be the foundation for well-being, or whole wellness if you will. According to https://activeminds.org self-care is doing things to take care of your mind, body, and soul by engaging in activities that promote well-being, reduce stress, lower your risk of illness, and increase your energy. According to Southern New Hampshire University https://www.snhu.edu Self-care is anything that you do to keep yourself spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, and socially healthy.   The information for my book in case you are interested is  REFINED Color hardcover copy ISBN 9798822960862 Color paperback copy ISBN 9798822960879 Black and White hardcover copy ISBN 9798822983472 Black and White paperback copy ISBN 9798822983489 eBook ISBN 9798822960886 The front cover has a lighthouse on it with the ocean you can also just look my book by my name or the title of the book.
