Why Self-Care is a Myth.

Let me explain. So many health and wellness "gurus" out there talk about self-care moments. Temporary relief from ongoing overwhelm and unhappiness. When you're feeling down, take a walk, get a massage, go out to dinner, read a book.

But I would argue that's not addressing the core issue--you are spending too many hours each week doing things you don't love. And day after day, that adds up. It takes an emotional and mental toll.

A self-care moment may offer temporary relief but it will be fleeting and ineffective in the long-term.

“If you don’t love yourself, nobody will. Not only that, you won’t be good at loving anyone else. Loving starts with the self.”—Wayne Dyer

What if self-care as a moment is a myth? What if what you need and deserve is self-nurturing as a daily habit? A new way of living?

Designing a life you love means finding opportunities every day to love on yourself in a meaningful way that connects you to your values and your peace. Doing the things daily that give you the mental and emotional strength to be productive and happy.

What if you identified one self-nurturing ritual and practiced it religiously for 30 days in a row? What difference might that make?

Stuck on the ritual you'll choose and how you'll ever find the time in your busy schedule to fit it in? I developed the Elevate Your Mindset Workbook to walk you through the process. It's my gift to you.

Here's to a designing and living a life that's centered around self-nurturing--not just random self-care moments!
