Prioritizing Self-care
Welcome to another transformative journey as we explore and redefine the concept of self-care, moving beyond the traditional, surface-level indulgences. As your hosts, Nachi and Damaris, we promise to provide you with insightful discussions on nurturing a healthy relationship with yourself, by engaging in activities that reduce stress and enhance your overall well-being.
In today's fast-paced world, setting boundaries, unplugging from social media, and taking mental health breaks are becoming increasingly important. Our discussion takes a bold turn as we dissect the cultural burden of putting others before us. It's crucial to focus on our own needs and make decisions that not only benefit us but result in greater outcomes. By ensuring our needs are met, we become our best selves, preventing burnout and enhancing our relationships with our loved ones.
We also dive into the practical aspects of incorporating self-care into our daily routines. From choosing whole foods over processed ones to finding time for leisure activities and integrating exercise into our schedules. We don’t shy away from the spiritual aspects of self-care either. We'll share how starting the day with a gratitude prayer can center you and keep you grounded.
In the first chapter, we explore the concept of self-care, breaking it down to more than just spa days and beauty treatments. We discuss how self-care is really about having a healthy relationship with yourself and engaging in activities that promote wellbeing and reduce stress. We also discuss the importance of taking a break from social media and the news, setting limits, and detoxing.
In the second chapter, we explore the importance of self-care and the effects of not focusing on our own needs. We discuss how our culture often puts family first, which can lead to burnout and exhaustion. We'll share ways to prioritize our own needs and how making decisions based on what is beneficial to us can result in better outcomes.
The third chapter is about mindful eating and how to ensure our own needs are taken care of to be our best selves for our families, friends, and ourselves. We discuss the importance of giving ourselves compassion and grace when we slip up.
In the final chapter, we discuss the practical ways to incorporate self-care into our daily lives. So, join us on this enlightening journey of self-care and redefine your perspectives.
