Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, it's Jake Carter here and welcome back to
tap out of overthinking. Today we're diving into something super crucial,
self care. Now. I know what you might be thinking,
self care. Isn't that just bubble baths and face masks. Listen,
While those things can be nice, they're just the tip

(00:21):
of the iceberg. True self care is about so much
more than pampering yourself. It's a conscious choice to prioritize
your mental well being. And trust me, it's not selfish,
it's essential. Think about it this way. You wouldn't run
your car without regular maintenance, would you. You wouldn't expect
a marathon runner to skip training, So why treat your

(00:44):
mind any differently. We're living in a world that constantly
demands our attention, throws curve balls our way, and pushes
us to the limit. Ever, feel like you're running on
empty most of the time. You know that feeling when
your brain is buzzing with worries, anxieties, or just plain exhaustion.
That's a sign, my friend, that it's time to hit

(01:06):
the self care reset button. Now, I'm not here to
preach at you with a bunch of generic advice. Here
are five key takeaways to really sink your teeth into.
First off, identify your stress triggers. What are the things
that consistently throw you off balance? Is it work, deadlines,
social media overload, or maybe even just traffic. Once you

(01:30):
know what pushes your buttons, you can start to develop
strategies to manage those situations. Maybe it's learning to say
no more often, taking a few minutes to breeze deeply
before responding to emails, or simply carving out some me
time each day. Second, cultivate healthy habits. Think about the

(01:51):
things that nourish your mind and body. Regular exercise releases
and dorphins, which have mood boosting effects. A balanced diet
provides your brain with the fuel it needs to function
at its best. Getting enough sleep is non negotiable. Seriously,
it's like hitting the refresh button on your entire system. Third,

(02:13):
make time for activities that bring you joy. This could
be anything from reading a good book, listening to music,
spending time in nature, or catching up with loved ones.
Make these things non negotiables on your schedule. They're not luxuries,
they are essential ingredients for a happy and balanced life. Fourth,

(02:34):
practice mindfulness. It's about being present in the moment, paying
attention to your thoughts and feelings without judgment. There are
tons of apps and techniques out there, but even just
taking a few minutes each day to focus on your
breath can make a world of difference. It helps you
become more aware of your stress triggers and allows you

(02:56):
to respond to them with more calmness and clarity. And finally,
don't be afraid to seek help. If you're struggling, know
that you're not alone. Talking to a therapist or counselor
can provide you with valuable support and guidance. They're like
trained coaches for your mind, helping you develop coping mechanisms

(03:17):
and navigate challenging situations. Let me tell you about Sarah.
She was a high powered marketing executive, always on the go,
juggling multiple projects and constantly feeling the pressure to succeed.
She was sleep deprived, stressed out, and her relationships were suffering.

(03:37):
One day, she had a breakthrough, realizing that she couldn't
keep living like this. She started prioritizing self care by
scheduling regular exercise classes, taking time for meditation, and setting
boundaries with work. She even booked a week end getaway
to reconnect with herself and recharge. Slowly but surely, Sarah

(04:00):
started feeling the difference. Her stress levels decreased, her energy increased,
and she was able to show up as her best
self in all areas of her life. Remember, self care
isn't just about taking time for yourself. It's about investing
in your well being so you can live a happier, healthier,
and more fulfilling life. It's not a luxury, it's a necessity.

(04:25):
So what are you waiting for? Start small, make little
changes every day and watch how your life transforms. And
don't forget to share this episode with someone who could
use a little reminder about the power of self care.
