Burning out is one of the primary risks you face as you work towards your goals and so focusing on self-care as a way to minimize the impact of burnout is one of the best investments you can make.

Genuine, committed self-care is a radical act in a world that intentionally – and at times brutally – conditions us to self-abandon, to make ourselves small and ignore our needs in favor of producing for others. It is not a small thing. This is especially true the more marginalized you are, and the more trauma you’ve undertaken. Read more>>

It’s a commitment to pause and listen to the whispers of our heart, ensuring we fill our own cup so we can pour into others. In these moments of self-tenderness, we find the strength to heal, the clarity to grow, and the peace to truly live. Read more>>

Over the years I have worked on developing a holistic wellness self-care routine. It took persistence and commitment to incorporate a daily routine that helps keep my mind, body and spirit in balance. After studying Eden Energy Medicine years ago to becoming an Advanced Practitioner today, I incorporate a daily “energy hygiene” routine consisting of the Daily Energy Routine developed by Donna Eden as well as I have added other energy exercises to this to help balance the meridians, chakras and radiant circuit energy systems daily.

I firmly believe in working hard and then taking breaks. When I was doing my undergrad, I never took breaks (yikes, right?). I was always going, going, and going! It led to exhaustion. It is really important for your health and mental health that you take days off or make boundaries for when you will and will not take work calls/emails. Read more>>

Being in the fitness industry, you should practice what you preach. I work out at the gym 3 days a week and practice Judo twice weekly. I incorporate mobility/flexibility work throughout the week as well. I’ve been living an active lifestyle like this for over 25 years. This enables me to speak from experience with my clients and give them advice from what I have learned in my schooling and real-world applications of my fitness endeavors. Read more>>

Often times, when we hear the phrase “self-care,” we picture it as doing things for our physical body… massages, eating well, taking a bath with essential oils and a salt scrub. When I personally think of self-care, though, I think about the mental parts – the internal thoughts. Read more>>

I have a three-year-old son and becoming a mom was full of joy and also turned my world and family upside down. Many may say that that “happens to everyone,” and, while that may be true, for me it made everything feel impossible – like my brain had broken. Read more>>

My self care is SOLITUDE. I spend a lotta time alone. I have as long as I can remember. It has impacted my life as an artist because of the socializing aspect. Not good at it. I feel I come off wrong to people. So networking isn’t easy for me. Read more>>

Self care is an important aspect of my daily routine. I often say in my yoga classes that you can’t be there for others unless you show up for yourself. Self care is a way to show up for yourself as well as promotes healthy mental health. Read more>>
