Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yo, what's up? Anxiety free fam? Your girl Riley Sage
here back with another dose of truth bombs and life
hacks to keep your head above water in this crazy world.
This week, we're diving deep into the self care game, because,
let's be real, gen Z is basically running on fumes.
Between that existential dread, the pressure to be insta perfect,

(00:21):
and trying to figure out how to adult without crying.
We need all the self love we can get. Ever
felt like your mental health as a neglected houseplant, You know,
one that's been watered with instant ramen and sunshine, but
basically wilding in the corner. Yeah me too, So buckle up, Buttercup,
because today we're flipping the script on self care. Forget

(00:43):
those Pinterest boards filled with avocado toast and bubble bads.
Real talk time. Here's the tea. Self care ain't about
being extra or having a perfectly curated Instagram feed. It's
about consciously prioritizing your mental and physical well being, even
when you feel like saying screw it to the world.
Think of it as an investment in your happiness bank account, because,

(01:06):
let's face it, a broke mind gain to a happy mind.
First up, ditch the guilt trip. Seriously, self care isn't selfish,
it's essential. We can't pour from an empty cup. Fam
If you're constantly running on empty, you're going to burn
out faster than a TikTok trend. So go ahead. Treat
yourself like the VIP you are. You deserve it. Next,

(01:30):
find your chill zone. Everyone needs a sanctuary, that one
place where you can distress and recharge. It could be
a cozy corner in your room, your favorite coffee shop,
or even just five minutes under your blanket with a
good book. Whatever it is, make time for it every day.
Listen up. Boundaries are your best friend. Stop saying yes

(01:52):
to everything and everyone. Learn to say no without feeling guilty.
You don't have to be a superhero. You're allowed to
protect your energy. Think of it like this. Would you
let strangers borrow your last slice of pizza? Probably not,
so why let them drain your mental well being? Speaking
of boundaries, unfollow anyone who gives you the ick. Negative

(02:13):
vibes are contagious, so curate your online world wisely. Remember
social media can be a double edged sword, and sometimes
it's best to take a step back and focus on
real life connections, and finally, never underestimate the power of movement.
Exercise doesn't have to mean hitting the gym, get those
endorphins pumping with whatever gets you grooving, dance like nobody's watching,

(02:37):
go for a walk in nature, or even just do
some stretches while listening to your favorite tunes. Okay, let's
talk about someone who truly embodies the self care game.
Emma Watson. Remember her iconic Hermione Granger days. Yeah, she
basically slayed Hogwarts with that bushy brown hair and brains
for days. But behind the scenes, Emma has been of

(03:00):
vocal advocate for mental health awareness and self acceptance. She's
talked openly about feeling overwhelmed by fame and pressure at
a young age, and how she had to learn to
prioritize her own well being. Remember those viral photos of
her meditating on a beach in Bali. That wasn't just
some pr stunt. That was Emma embracing her need for quiet,

(03:20):
reflection and spiritual grounding. She's shown us all that it's
okay to step back, recharge, and put yourself first. Emma's
story is a reminder that even the seemingly perfect people
have struggles. It shows us that vulnerability is strength and
self care isn't just about bubble bads. It's about showing
up authentically for yourself, even when it's hard. So here's

(03:43):
the deal. Self care ain't an optional extra, it's a necessity.
It's not about being perfect, It's about being present and
taking care of your damn self. Make time for the
things that bring you joy. Set those boundaries like you
mean it, and remember that you are worthy of love, happiness,
and a whole lot of self respect. Now go out
there and make this week your best one yet. And

(04:06):

spread the self love revolution together. Hit me up on

self care ritual is. Don't forget to tag the podcast
