Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Leo Weston here and welcome back to dopamine Reset.
You know that feeling when your brain feels like it's
running on fumes, like you're just going through the motions,
barely making it through the day. Yeah, I get it.
We live in a world that glorifies hustle culture, always

(00:20):
pushing us to do more, achieve more, be more. But
what about taking care of ourselves? What about recharging those
batteries and giving our minds the love and attention they deserve.
That's exactly what we're diving into today, the power of
self care in maintaining a healthy mind. Because let's face it, folks,

(00:43):
mental health isn't just some abstract concept. It's the foundation
of our well being. It impacts everything from our relationships
to our work performance, even our physical health. So if
we want to truly self care can't be an afterthought,
it needs to be a priority. Now. I'm not talking

(01:07):
about spending hours in a bubble bath or getting a
massage every week, though those are nice. Self care is
about intentionally choosing activities that nourish your mind, body, and soul.
It's about recognizing your limits and saying no when you
need to and It's about finding joy in the little things.

(01:29):
That cup of coffee on a rainy morning, a walk
in the park, or simply taking a few minutes to
breeze deeply. Think of it this way. You wouldn't put
dirty oil into a high performance engine and expect it
to run smoothly. Right, Our minds are no different. They
need regular maintenance and care to function at their best.

(01:50):
So here are five key takeaways to help you prioritize
self care and reap the benefits. One listen to your body.
Ever feel that gnawing tension in your shoulders or headache brewing,
These are signals from your body telling you it needs
a break. Don't ignore them. Schedule time for activities that

(02:13):
help you relax and distress, like yoga, meditation, or even
just taking a walk. Two. Disconnect to reconnect. We live
in a world of constant stimulation, notifications, emails, social media.
It's exhausting. Make it a habit to disconnect regularly. Put

(02:35):
your phone away for a few hours each day, Go
for a nature walk, read a book, anything that allows
you to truly be present and recharge. Three. Fuel your body. Right.
What you put into your body directly affects how you
feel mentally and emotionally. Nourish yourself with whole foods, fruits,

(02:59):
vegetable and plenty of water. Limit processed foods, sugary drinks,
and excessive caffeine, which can actually contribute to feelings of
anxiety and fatigue. Four. Embrace the power of number. It's
okay to set boundaries and say no to commitments that

(03:20):
drain your energy or time. Remember saying yes to everything
ultimately leads to burnout. Learn to prioritize what truly matters
and politely decline requests that don't align with your goals
or well being. Five. Find joy in the little things.

(03:41):
It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and
forget to appreciate the simple pleasures in life. A warm
cup of tea, a good conversation with a friend, a
sunny day. Make an effort to notice these moments of
joy and savor them. Okay, let me paint you a picture.
Imagine Sarah, a busy mom juggling work, kids, and household responsibilities.

(04:05):
She's always on the go, constantly checking emails, running errands,
and trying to keep everything afloat sound familiar. Well, Sarah
starts feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and like she's just going through
the motions. She realizes she hasn't taken time for herself
in ages, no walks, no reading, no quiet moments of reflection.

(04:29):
So what does she do? She makes a conscious effort
to prioritize self care. She schedules a thirty minute yoga
session each morning, carves out time for an evening walk,
and sets boundaries with work so she can enjoy dinner
with her family without constantly checking her phone. Suddenly, Sarah

(04:49):
feels more energized, less stressed, and more connected to herself
and her loved ones. The point is self care isn't selfish,
it's essential. It's about investing in yourself so you can
show up as your best self for your family, your friends,
your work, and most importantly, for yourself. So remember these

(05:15):
key takeaways. Listen to your body, disconnect to reconnect, fuel
your body right, embrace the power of know and find
joy in the little things. Ready to reclaim your focus
