Hey everyone, Leo Weston here your friendly neighborhood guide to
navigating this crazy thing called life. You know that feeling
when your mind's racing, you're juggling a million things, and
self care somehow ends up on the bottom of your
to do list. Yeah, we've all been there. But guess
(00:20):
what this episode is dedicated to changing that. We're talking
about creating a self care plan, not just some vague idea,
but a concrete roadmap to improve your mental health and
overall well being. Is like giving yourself the VIP treatment, folks. Now,
I know what you might be thinking, Leo, I'm already swamped.
(00:44):
When do I even find time for self care? I
Number twe trust me. It's not about adding another thing
to your plate. It's about prioritizing what truly nourishes your
mind and soul. Think of it as an investment, investing
in yourself so you can show up as the best
(01:06):
version of you in all areas of life. So let's
break down five key takeaways to get you started on
crafting your self care plan. Number one, define what self
care means to y owe you. It's not a one
size fits all deal, folks. What makes me feel refreshed
might leave you feeling bored and vice versa. So think
(01:31):
about activities that genuinely bring you joy, calm your mind,
or help you recharge. Is it reading a good book,
taking a long walk in nature, listening to your favorite music,
or maybe even just having a long, hot bath. Get specific.
Number two. Schedule it in seriously. Treat self care appointments
(01:54):
like any other important meeting on your calendar. Block out
time for those activities, nourish you, and don't let anything
else interfere. It might feel strange at first, but trust me,
it becomes a habit and you'll start to crave those
moments of dedicated me time. Number three. Listen to your body. Ever,
(02:17):
Notice how you're more prone to stress, headaches, or fatigue
when you're neglecting yourself. Your body is a brilliant communicator.
It speaks through subtle cues and sometimes not so subtle ones.
Learn to recognize those signals and prioritize rest, movement, and
healthy nutrition. You know that feeling of waking up energized
(02:40):
and ready to conquer the day that self care working
its magic. Number four set boundaries. This one is crucial, folks.
It's about protecting your time and energy. Learn to say
no to commitments that drain you or don't align with
your priorities. Remember it's okay to prioritize your well being
(03:05):
over pleasing everyone else all the time. You deserve to
have space for yourself to recharge and come back stronger.
And lastly, number five, be kind to yourself. Seriously treat
yourself with the same compassion and understanding you would offer
a dear friend. We all stumble, we all have off days.
(03:28):
It's okay. The key is to be gentle with yourself,
acknowledge your feelings, and keep moving forward. Remember self care
isn't about perfection, It's about progress. Okay, let me paint
you a picture. Imagine Sarah. She's juggling work deadlines, family commitments,
and trying to squeeze in some social time. She feels
(03:52):
constantly overwhelmed and stressed. One day, she decides enough is enough.
She starts by scheduling thirty minutes each morning for yoga
and meditation, something she enjoys but often puts off. Then
she sets boundaries at work, politely declining extra projects when
(04:13):
her plate is full. She even schedules a weekly coffee
date with a friend just to reconnect and laugh. Sarah's
self care isn't fancy or elaborate. It's simple, intentional acts
that make a huge difference in how she feels. So
what are you waiting for? Start crafting your own self
(04:35):
care plan to day. Remember, taking care of yourself isn't selfish,
it's essential. It allows you to show up as your
best self, handle life's challenges with grace, and truly enjoy
the journey. And that, my friends, is something worth investing in.
