This episode we’re talking about challenges we sometimes face when it comes to practicing self-care. And just know, that if you experience any of these or struggle with them in any way, you’re not alone.
Feeling Guilty - we all have gone through this particular emotion which is often why we never fully commit to our self-care. Guilt over the things we aren’t getting done, the time we’re spending on ourselves instead of on our kids or family or job…we’ve been there and we get it. But let this be your reminder, “you can’t pour from an empty cup.”
Lack of Time - your hosts over here are on pretty polar opposites when it comes to this one…and we’re also in very different stages of life. But the key here is learning to run your day vs letting your day run you. And to do this, you do need to make yourself accountable for what you have to get done and do it in a way that is going to allow you to create consistency. Stop trying to implement a way that you would like to adhere to and find the way that actually works for you.
Manage your Expectations - If you’re not working with a contingency plan, now’s the time to get one. What are you going to do when it doesn’t go the way you want it to. Things aren’t always going to fit the way you anticipated and planned for. If you’re a parent, life is going to get messy and it’s going to happen often. Plan for it, expect it, find grace and learn to live in the moments that life is affording you. If you always expect perfection, you’re going to spend a lot of time disappointed. You have to manage your expectations and set them in the realm of reality.
