    402: Redefining Self Care

    402: Redefining Self Care

     
    Two months ago, If someone asked me if I take care of myself, I would answer yes.

    I strength train 2-3 x per week and hike or run the other days. 
    I stretch and go for a walk most days.
    I journal most mornings and practice gratitude.
    I mostly choose healthy foods.
    I drink very little alcohol (and now not at all)
    I mostly enjoy my work.
    But then I read the book God on a Harley, and now I'm not so sure.
    In the book, God, who takes the character of the motorcyclist Joe, gives the main character six commandments to live by. 

    One of them was to take care of yourself, first and foremost.
    He said to the main character "you spend 40 hours a week at a job you think you hate, and you spend the rest of your waking hours lamenting over how imperfect you think your body is and how lonely you are without a man in your life".
    Oh. That.
    Let me ask you... are you taking care of yourself?

    Join me in this week's podcast as we expand the definition of self care beyond health practices and spa treatments. 
    The new definition includes things like:
    🧠 Mindful Self-Talk
    🚧 Setting Boundaries
    🚫 Avoiding Comparisons
    ⏳ Slowing Down
    💖 Embracing Emotions
    Take a listen and let me know what you think!

    399: Permission to Rest with Christine Jewell

    399: Permission to Rest with Christine Jewell

    Are you feeling burned out?
    Are you chasing success but feeling unfulfilled?
    Do you feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders?
    My friends, I am deeply honoured to have my good friend, Christine Jewell, on the Fit + Vibrant You Podcast.
    I personally get so much out of my conversations with Christine, whether as a guest on the podcast, or when we do our ‘walk and talks’. Christine is not only a true friend, but mentor and role model.
    In this podcast Christine shares:
    💎 The  moment everything changed her life and what it actually looks like to walk through a season of being lost and finding your true calling.
    💎 The importance of giving ourselves permission to rest. Unlearning the messages of striving and pushing and to reset your nervous system.
    💎 The truth about people pleasing, even if it seems to come from a good place.
    I highly encourage you to order Christine’s book, Dropping the Armor to unlock the fulfilling, passionate, purposeful life you have always known was possible.
    Christine Jewell is an author, keynote speaker, and faith based executive coach with  over 25 years of experience in the fields of Health + Peak Performance, Entrepreneurship + Human Behaviour . She is also the host of the Breaking Chains Podcast.
    As the Founder of Warriors Of The Heart, she specializes in guiding highly successful CEO’s and Impact driven leaders to break out of the superficial “life” they’ve built, redefine success and step into a whole new playing field grounded in eternal, life giving principles.
    As a mother of 6, ages 6-20, through a blended family, a wife, high level athlete, multiple business owner and entrepreneur since her 20’s, she is intimately familiar with the overwhelm and burnout that can come when building a ‘dream’ life, as well as what’s possible on the other side.
    Through years of trials, burning things down and rebuilding from the ashes of her past, she has ditched the rules of this world, following the calling on her heart to cultivate a life of total alignment - where there is more than enough time for her most meaningful work, extraordinary relationships, a legacy of impact - and plenty of rest!
