info_outlineThe word self-care is everywhere at the moment. Everyone's using it from marketers, influencers, coaches and just everyone. Although it's understandably and rightfully used when talking about mental health, a lot of people are using it for the wrong reasons.
If you're all about being intentional about self-care but are unsure where to draw the line with selfishness, this episode is for you.
What You'll Learn:
- The difference between self-care and selfishness
- Why you should always take care of your needs first
- How to overcome the "I'll be happy when…" mentality
- The three primary levels of a relationship
- Understanding what is self-love and what it's not
- How to live life in your true authentic self
- Why you need to stop hiding behind social media and pretending everything's okay
- The easiest way to truly love yourself
- Why you need to cut off the people that are draining your energy
Self-care is all about taking care of your mental, emotional and physical well-being. However, this doesn't mean you neglect the needs of others, it just means that your needs are your priority. Being selfish, on the other hand, means draining someone else's energy to improve your own. So always protect, love, and replenish yourself, but not at the cost of someone else's self-care efforts.
