#151: Self Care is Like a Game of Wac-A-Mole

In this mindset episode, we are talking about the simple concept of self-care and how it is truly our own responsibility.  Self-care is a moving target every single day and it makes me think of a game of wac-a-mole. The way you give to yourself is the way to give to others.  Learning how to fill your cup first to overflow is the only way you have something to give back to others.  I know this is a moving target and will require an ebb and flow process.  This is your cup and taking ownership of your cup is what can change how you show up in your life and in your business.

In this episode, we discuss:

1. Your daily needs, responsibilities, and energies are changing on a daily basis. It is literally a moving target, and this is why it is so important to ask yourself “what do I need today”, and then having the courage and self-respect to listen to what you need.
2. Modify or drop the expectations completely. Don’t blame others for what is or isn’t working.  You will never meet the expectations, so instead focus on raising your standards.   Want more info on the standards vs expectations, listen to the Episode #122 Standards vs Expectations https://apple.co/3g65XHF
3. When you feel “off”, ask yourself if your self-care game is off. For some reason in times of stress, we actually drop our self-care practices which don’t set us up for success.
4. What do you need to be the best version of you? Make a list of 5-10 things that allow you to be that best version, and now ask yourself if you are putting them into your day.  If no, then why not? Where can you fit this into your day to improve your chance of success?
5. What if you have to ask for help? What if it is a change in your mindset that you deserve to feel good, to have the support, to have the time for yourself. Because you do.
6. Don’t tell yourself that it is impossible for you, or it is easier for me. This story is keeping you stuck in your story.
