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!

Beyond the Beige

We’ve all seen the images. The stark white rooms, the single designer chair, the perfectly curated capsule wardrobe. We’re told that if we just clear the clutter, we’ll find peace. 

But if we’re not careful, the minimalist aesthetic can become just another thing to buy, another thing to consume. 

On today’s show, Melora Johnson deconstructs the modern minimalist movement so that each of us can move from the clutter-free, beige-everything  minimalist aesthetic to a deeper, more sustainable practice rooted in intentionality.

Here’s a preview: 

[7:30] Feeling that donation high? Here’s why decluttering and donating feels so good in the moment but often fails to stop the cycle of re-accumulation

[16:00] Candid thoughts on how and why minimalism has been commercialized

[25:00] How to tell if your minimalism is driving more shopping or actually shrinking your ecological footprint
