#53: 12 ways to fill up your cup on busy days
The Saint Belford Podcast
When life gets busy, it's easy to neglect your wellbeing. It’s easy to push your needs aside in favour of conquering your to-do list. We’re so worried about disappointing others that we often convince ourselves there’s no time for self-care. We convince ourselves that rest is not an option, our needs can wait, and everything on our to-do list is urgent and must get done today. Sound familiar?

info_outlinePractising self-care is not just about the activities and rituals you engage in to recharge your mind and body. What you say no to is just as important. That’s where boundaries come in.
Boundaries are a way of clearly communicating your needs and your limits. They highlight what you will and won’t accept. They protect you, set the tone for your relationships and give you the space you need to prioritise your wellbeing.
