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.

I believe that self-care is an important part of wellness in staying productive and avoiding burnout. A main component of my self-care comes in the form of hiking and doing solo adventures in nature. As a landscape photographer, Im fortunate that what brings me peace and solace is also another great opportunity to get out there and shoot different locations. Read More>>

As a Licensed Therapist and Embodiment Coach, self-care has become more than an essential skill for my holistic health – it is an act of radical self-love. But it hasn’t always been this way. For decades, I was stuck in codependent cycles of putting others’ needs before my own, which resulted in me feeling anxious, stressed, heartbroken, and burned out on repeat. I was overgiving, overworking, overempathizing, and overcommitting to the point of losing my own sense of self and sanity. Read More>>

My self-care routine is my sacred ritual, a time when I turn inward, tune out the noise, and reconnect with myself through intentional practices that bring me joy, peace, and confidence.

When I need to shut down and reset, I reach for my headphones and escape into the smooth, soothing rhythms of jazz. Read More>>

I build my time around the things that bring me joy: yoga, volleyball, reading, and baking. These activities keep me grounded, energized, and connected to both myself and others. When I take care of my body and mind, I’m more focused, present, and resilient in every part of my life. Read More>>

For self-care, I prioritize quiet reflection, prayer, and journaling—those moments where I can center myself and hear clearly. I also make time for walks, intentional rest, and time with my family. As someone who gives so much to others, I’ve learned that if I don’t pause to care for myself, I can’t serve effectively. Read More>>

Self-care has not always been easy for me. I was always the one taking care of everyone else. When I got breast cancer, I could not do anything except take care of myself. Read More>>

I prioritizes self-care through activities that boost my confidence and provide mental clarity. Doing my makeup and “dolling up” is a key part of my routine. I love to make myself feel good.
I sometimes enjoy recording video of my makeup routine which allowed me to express my creativity. Read More>>

As a teacher and content creator, I truly believe self-care is one of the most important tools. Having a routine where I focus on one thing mentally, physically and emotionally each day has been helpful. Whether that be journaling, going for a walk or unplugging from social media when I need to. Read More>>

Self-care comes in multiple forms for me.

One of the most basic things I do is take a hot bath and relax, try to gather my bearings, and try to write down ideas and how to implement them. Read More>>

Self care is probably my biggest hobby right now (other than adventuring with my fur child, Bruce!) I think I spent so many years running from my mental health, or masked it with partying, that eventually I switched gears! Don’t get me wrong I still love a night out, but my nights in is where the progress happens! Read More>>

For me, self-care is less about bubble baths and more about radical presence.

As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and seeker, my self-care lives in my body: daily walks in the desert, intentional breathwork, mindful eating, and staying attuned to what my nervous system is signaling. I also reach for myth, ritual, and connection—to nature, to my ancestors, to community. These practices restore coherence when the world feels fragmented. Read More>>

On some level “self-care” may sound like a simple concept. However, when we really start to explore our own personal needs we can actually get quite overwhelmed by the idea. I believe that self-care, while essential for effective productivity and balance, can be a very different experience for each of us. I’ve been studying the components of personal growth, care, and development for over a decade in my Strategic Activation Life Coaching Practice and I think there are practices and strategies that we can use to develop better balance and self care in our lives. In fact, I am currently writing a workbook to help with this very topic. Read More>>
