393: Self-Care To Regulate Your Nervous System with Theresa Steighner
What image comes to mind when you think about self-care?
\xa0
A massage or bubble bath?
A fancy dinner?
Being all zenned out in lotus pose?
\xa0
Though these things can be wonderful, I also think they can give self-care a bad name by portraying it as something fun, frivolous and even a little selfish.
\xa0
In reality, true self-care \u2013 or what I like to call \u201ctherapeutic self-care\u201d \u2013 is absolutely essential to our well-being and our ability to show up for those around us.
\xa0
Therapeutic self-care is about meeting your core needs as a human \u2013 mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. It\u2019s an inside job first and foremost, and it doesn't have to be time-consuming or expensive to do WONDERS for your nervous system, stress levels and overall balance in life.
