E217. Self Care for Optimization

Do you ever feel like taking time for yourself is an indulgence you must earn? That's a common misconception we're here to debunk. Welcome to an episode dedicated to self-care, where we break down its importance, especially during times of crisis and high stress. We also learn why self-care is not a luxury, but a necessity. I recount a memorable family adventure that teaches us the power of patience and tenacity, elements that are as crucial to self-care as they are to life's many pursuits.

Ever wondered how high performers balance self-care with their intense schedules? We delve into this conundrum, discussing why self-care is not a task to be earned, but an integral part of our routine that helps us reduce the feeling of being overwhelmed. I share personal experiences and activities that I have adopted to prioritize my well-being. We hear inspiring stories of individuals who manage to incorporate self-care while achieving remarkable results. A challenge is also thrown to listeners to create their own list of self-care activities.

Finally, we explore the role of understanding and serving our community. We discuss how we can use our unique talents to contribute positively and how connecting with others adds value to our lives.
