In between shows I rest, travel, enjoy quality time with friends and loved ones, and indulge in needed leisure time. These are not just nice things I do for myself, but are absolutely essential for my nervous system to relax, and to have proper time to get reinspired for the next project. Read More>>

Things that I do for self-care is a couple things. I typically do things that make me feel happy for example walking and listening to R&B music brings me a piece of mind. I also get massages with a company called “hands of trades” located in Florida ( IG : handsoftrades1804) . Read More>>

I protect time for physical health. Regularly working out and consistently sleeping well are important to me because they keep my energy stable even during the busiest of days. Second, I practice structured reflection: I take 20–30 minutes each morning to review priorities and reset my mindset. This helps me make decisions with more intention rather than reacting to noise.

As a wife, mother, and entrepreneur, I’ve learned that self-care isn’t selfish — it’s essential. Women tend to pour into everyone else — our husbands, kids, homes, laundry, businesses — and then have nothing left to pour into ourselves. My version of self-care is simple but meaningful: doing my nails, and taking a nice, long bath with a glass of wine and some good music. Read More>>

Self-care is an act of self-love. When we actually care for ourselves we give ourselves the opportunity to receive our own time, attention and love. On some level it is an act of boundary setting, saying yes to the things that really nourish us and no to the things that are draining our energy and our life force. Read More>>

As a first step, after years of not doing it, I’ve started to listen to myself. It sounds silly and a bit basic, but in reality, it has taken me a long journey to do it. Read More>>

This might surprise you, but I am a massive techie. I’ve always loved mobile gaming as a way to decompress, and I found an app called Finch that bridges the gap between gaming and productivity. The concept is that you have this cute digital pet, and to go on adventures or gain points, you have to complete real-life self-care and work tasks. Read More>>

For me, self-care has become less about checking off a list of activities and more about learning to love, honor, & connection with myself. It has been a journey of slowing down enough to hear what my mind, body, & spirit are actually in need of. On a micro level, rest is my favorite form of self-care. Read More>>

Never overwork yourself. For me, self-care comes from being deeply attuned to both my physical and mental state. When I’ve been working too much for a while, I start to feel mentally drained — it shows up in my sleep and my mood. That’s my body’s way of warning me: I need a break. When that happens, I slow down. Read More>>

Self care is a toughie for me, because truthfully I’m still learning what it looks like! But I’ve learned enough to recognize how imperative it is to my success. For me, self care mostly looks like not doing. It’s not face masks and spa days or baking sheets of cookies (power to you if that’s what your self care looks like!) but instead just…nothingness.

My self-care practices are the foundation of how I live and how I serve others. I prioritize nourishing foods, supportive friendships, and healthy relationships. I weave meditation, yoga, restorative sleep, and stress-management rituals into my daily rhythm, and I spend intentional time in nature and in stillness with myself. Read More>>

My self-care regimen involves taking long walks in a park or in a neighborhood that has a lot of trees, plants, and flowers. I take a bath at least once a week with as many fragrant candles that I can fit on the counter around the sink. Read More>>

For me, self-care is less about ensuring I go to the spa or take a yoga class and more about tending to the systems that support me daily. While these may include visits to the spa and regular yoga classes, it’s more about finding opportunities every day to honour my nervous system and what I need to take care of myself. Read More>>
