068: Self-care for Busy People

Have you scheduled self-care into your days lately? I get it. We're all busy. We're all over-scheduled, even. When something gets cut from our schedules, it's often the things we do to rejuvenate ourselves that get pushed aside first. Here are 8 self-care ideas that nurture heart, soul + health; even better, these 8 ideas can be completed in *just* 5 minutes.


Have you scheduled self-care into your days lately?

I get it: We’re all busy. When we must cut something, we almost always cut the tasks that rejuvenate ourselves from our schedules first.

I believe that self-care is less about time-intensive, expensive spa treatments (although if they light you up, go for ’em!). 

Instead, self-care is a collection of little habits that promote healthy + peaceful existences.

On today’s episode, we get some serious self-care bang out of *just* 5 minutes. Liann Hughes is a fellow blogger who has perfected the act of self-care for busy people; she’s here to motivate us to put ourselves first with 8 tried-and-true strategies that require very little time.

Enjoy!
