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!

Saying No To New

New things are everywhere—and they’re causing us to disconnect from what we value most.

In a world that constantly tells us that new is better, our relentless pursuit of material wealth is costing us money, time and happiness. Worse, when we define ourselves by what we own rather than who we are, we reduce our lives to a single, superficial dimension.

On today’s show, New York Times journalist Eric Athas offers advice for stepping away from the cycle of constant buying, saying no to shallowness, and discovering the right kind of “new” in our lives.

Here's a preview:

[8:00] We're wired to become bored the familiar, and other truths to newness

[16:00] Consumption has costs! (In fact, it robs us of our finite attention, dilutes our capacity for genuine enjoyment, and misaligns our pursuit of happiness.)

[26:00] Musings on the ways in which overconsumption leads to superficiality

[37:00] Put down the trinket! Redefining what it means to experience novelty, growth, and freshness without relying on a transaction
