What are you doing for the whole of your body and soul?
Think about it for a moment. If your first reaction is to say, “Oh, I don’t have time for that, I’m on a roll in my business and self-care has to wait,” then I have some news for you. When you short-change yourself, you short-change your family, your friends, your clients, and, yes, your business. It’s just that important.
Putting yourself first isn't selfish. It's healthy and it is self-preservation that helps you to thrive rather than just survive. If you don't care for yourself first, you put yourself on the fast track to burn-out, sick-out, and checking out. Self-care isn’t something that should be thought of as your last priority, it should be your first.
In today’s episode, I am going to be diving into the care and feeding of your greatest business asset: you. This is an opportunity to become aware of the ways that you are neglecting your best self. I will provide you with some simple strategies for you to put in place to correct the deficiencies, to correct the self-neglect, get off the hamster wheel, and get back your sanity.
In this episode, you will hear:
- Why self-care is such a key component for the success of your business
- How to distinguish between self-indulgence and self-care
- Strategies for creating a self-care routine that works for you
- Inspiration from my own self-care routine that may help you to personalize your own
