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.

For me, self-care isn’t bubble baths or spa days—it’s creating daily rhythms and white space that nourish both my body and my nervous system. I’ve learned that when my body is dysregulated, my mind follows. As a functional nutritionist and neurodivergent woman, I know the science behind why that happens: our genes, our environment, and our habits are in constant conversation. Read more>>

For my self-care, I like to take a holistic approach. I found that taking care of my mind, body, soul, spirit creates a synergy with my health and wellness.

I think it is important to first talk about what self-care is, as it can often be misunderstood as indulgent or luxurious- spa days and bubble baths. Read more>>

Without self-care, my ability to care for others would be much less effective. The most basic parts of my self-care are ensuring that I have the right kinds of nourishment so that I feel energetic and I sleep well. I eat whole foods, drink plenty of water and tea, and I avoid alcohol, sugar, and processed food. Read more>>

Self-care has become an integral part of both my personal life and my professional practice. As a doctor, I see self-care not only as something I model for myself but also as something I actively teach my patients, empowering them to support their own healing through daily lifestyle choices.

Self-care is essential for me because I give so much of myself to others in my sessions. I know that if I’m not taking care of myself first, I can’t fully show up for my clients. It’s like the airplane mask analogy, you have to put yours on before helping someone else. My self-care routine shifts with my needs. Read more>>

As a musician I can spend many hours in the studio working on tracks trying to get them as close to perfect as possible but if I didn’t have a physical outlet I’m not sure how creative I would be. I know I definitely wouldn’t be as happy and content. I’m an avid rock climber. Read more>>

Self-care for me is consistency. I treat every day the same—including weekends. I’m up between 4:00 and 4:30 a.m. without an alarm, I clear my inboxes so I’m starting clean, then I head straight to the gym: advanced Pilates first, followed by about an hour+ of cardio. After that, it’s coffee and into the workday. The impact has been significant. Read more>>

For me, self-care looks like more than just face masks and everything showers (even though I LOVE those), it’s the practices that keep me grounded, energized, and able to show up fully for myself and others. I do a few things such as moving my body daily. Moving my body keeps me feeling good about myself and it also clears any mental fog. Read more>>

For a long time, while working as a general practitioner veterinarian, my schedule was grueling — 12-hour shifts with only one day off a week. Over time, that pace led to burnout, and I found myself losing the joy I once had in practicing medicine. Read more>>

Resting between shows is one of the most important parts of touring. Every time I walk out on stage. I wanna give 100% of myself. I’ve found you need to develop habits that calm your body and clear your mind. Playing tennis has definitely helped taking my mind off the stress of touring and music. Read more>>

I have been planning weddings for 16 years now, and I have learned a few things throughout that time. First thing is I try to always take the day after a wedding off. I do not open my computer, and I enjoy my family and friends. I have found I need this to replenish myself. Read more>>

As I get older, self-care becomes more and more important to me. I want to stay fit and healthy and it’s not necessarily about looking good, it’s about feeling mentally and physically healthy. For my mental health I am very mindful about listening to my body and not overscheduling myself with work, or social activities. Read more>>

For me, self-care has three non-negotiables in sleep, movement, and how I fuel my body. Add in faith, and these things form the foundation of how I show up – not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and professionally. A favorite reminder is: Every bit counts. Read more>>
