Show Summary: 

“We take care of our material things like our homes and cars so well, but we don't care for our bodies the same way. Remember that the more you take care of your body and do preventative maintenance, the better your body will show up.”

Do you struggle with the demands of your business and feel the pressure to keep up with the pursuit of success? It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and burnt out in these situations; however, neglecting your health and well-being can prevent you from performing at your best.

Despite the distractions and responsibilities that can consume your time, you may feel guilty for even thinking about considering self-care. However, taking small steps in prioritizing your own needs and reconnecting with your body can do wonders for your inner peace and ability to navigate life’s challenges.

Exceptional Highlights:

• Trauma is stored in our bodies, not our minds. A somatic approach allows us to release stress and tension in the body to heal truly.
• Discipline is not about doing something perfectly every day but consistently returning to the behavior even if you fall off for a while.
• We are born connected to our inner voice or intuition, but as we grow older, we learn to seek external validation and lose touch with it. 

Show Highlights:

The body remembers everything that happens to us, and issues can manifest physically and mentally.

• We must understand the reasons behind physical symptoms and ask difficult questions about what the body is trying to communicate.

Taking care of ourselves enables us to show up better for work, relationships, and responsibilities because we can give from a full cup.

• Neglecting self-care can lead to suppressing and holding onto things, ultimately resulting in exhaustion and burnout.

The key to building self-care habits is consistency, not the amount of time spent on the practice.

• Set the intention to find small pockets of time in your day to nourish and focus on yourself and be gracious with yourself if you miss a day or two.
