- Health & Fitness
Hands up if you’re a busy woman or mum, who gives a lot to your family, kids, workplace, partners and somehow the thought of giving to yourself always gets pushed lower down the ranks on the list of daily priorities? Maybe for tomorrow or possibly the next day?
Hands up if you’ve ever had a massage and thought to yourself “Why don’t I do this more often?”, yet within hours of that thought, you’re neck deep in a frenzy of everyone else’s needs, and any attention you thought you might pay to yourself has slipped silently out the window?
Hands up if the words ‘I’m too busy’ roll off the tongue with such regularity that it's becoming part of your identity, nudging out simple activities like a coffee with a friend or a trip to the gym?
I am guessing I am now looking at a room filled with women and their hands up in the air. And high five to you all- you are the glue that holds families and businesses together. You are the life force behind problem solving, negotiating, juggling and pleasing. And if you’re anything like me, you’re a bit…..well, tired.
This podcast we explore self-care. What it is, why we ignore it, why it's important and how to prioritise it.
In this podcast you will learn:
The three essential pillars in self care for women
Ten simple steps you can start taking today to start moving from a place of utter depletion to a feeling of vitality
How can we women start to prioritise our own self care, without carrying the guilty feeling we are being somehow selfish or indulgent.
As a health care provider I often see the problems that occur within the aging population simply as a result of a lack of self care. Small steps can be so important.
We have all heard the statement “You should secure your own oxygen mask before your families in an aircraft emergency”. Small easy steps in self- care to support your own health, can mean the difference between operating from a place of depleted fatigue to a place of renewal and enthusiasm.
So rather than it being a once a year indulgence, let's redefine self care for women.
After all, we are the glue, the force and we are needed.
