Whoof-the biggest way I care for myself and make sure I can show up for others is sleep. I am a total crab if I don’t get enough sleep and I loose both energy and patience. Everything else-my routines, movement, meditation, they all play into it too but really I need 8 hours of solid sleep to even motivate myself to show up in those other ways. It’s a game changer.
The biggest way I give back to myself is through sleep. Making sure I get enough sleep helps me show up for myself and for others around me. I believe sleeping is so very much productive and the foundation to step upon to build your day.
I give back to myself by signing off. When I completely disconnect I’m able to connect with myself easier. By doing that I can come back and serve myself and others with a deeper passion and greater intensity. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I go to sleep whenever I want to. Whether others consider it “early” or not. Every day is different, and I get to make the decision of when I’m tired and need rest - not others, not society.
I say no. Sometimes—not always, but sometimes—physically not showing up to a dinner or a call or an event for a cause is the only way I can carve out the alone time I need to fill up and be present and active and my best self the next time.
I give back to myself by trying new things. I love adventures and trying something new, even close to home, makes me feel full of life. Feeling full of life is what allows me to show up as my best self!
Since I was a teenager, I’ve struggled with anxiety. It was paralyzing at times. It kept me from friends. It held me back in relationships. Mostly, it made me constantly second guess myself and my choices. When I was 22, I quit dancing and found a passion for running. It was meditative. It gave me solace. For the first time, it was something I did just to show up for me. As I’ve grown into my late twenties I’ve gotten back to those anxious feelings and away from the solace running once gave me. Thanks to quarantine, I’ve gotten it back. I show up for myself by taking a daily run, or walk, or just a few minutes outside to feel thankful that I can MOVE and it will always detonate those anxious feelings. Showing up for me has made me a better girlfriend, friend, employee and (most importantly) daughter. Thanks Emily for helping us all show up! ❤️
Like many people here, the biggest way that I give back to myself is by taking time early in the morning to move and meditate. My job is very stressful and long hours sitting in front of a screen. By taking the time first thing in the morning to run and meditate (some days that's headspace and burning sage, other days that's coffee and reading a book), I am able to find a sense of calm that allows me to show up for my team and my family in a positive way. When I don't take that time, there is a noticeable difference in my ability to handle tough situations!
I am constantly pursuing lots of things, working at some goal, big or small. It can be draining. The way I can continue to show up to the causes and the people I care about is simply by giving myself the rest I need when I need it. Simply pause and let me be me (for 30 minutes or for a whole day)without feeling like I have to do a million things. Recharging the batteries is so important.
I eat dessert every damn night. For me, this is generally pure unadulterated dark bean-to-bar dark chocolate, 70% or higher. Sometimes a homemade peanut butter cup, chocolate covered date, or ice cream. Dessert. A reason to relax no matter how busy the day is. A reason to connect with myself or others. A reason to smile and enjoy something I love. Whatever it is, it makes me better for me and all in my life and in what I do. Dessert.
One way I give back to myself is to run almost daily. I’m always in a much better mindset after I run, which helps me show up for others and causes I care about.
One way I give back to myself so that i can better show up for people and causes i care about would be that, I make sure that I am in a good mindset. I will most of the time take walks, take a spin class ( pre-covid) and try to focus on what good I can bring out into the world. I love to volunteer and help people, friends, family when I can.
As a healthcare provider, I have to be sure that I recognize when I have done my damn best. I constantly am the biggest advocate for my patients and co workers, but at the end of the day I must slow down enough to advocate for myself and my family.
I loved this episode and this prompt made me really take a pause. In full transparency, I drew a blank and really had to dig deep to reflect on how I take care of myself. What I came up with is...I haven’t been doing a good job at all. I’ve been putting my work first..then the needs of my family and friends..and then community organizations that I can lend my services to help out. My priorities are completely messed up and I’m realizing how much it’s taken a toll on my mental, physical and emotional well-being, which inevitably is probably limiting my relationships. If I’ve learned anything from this podcast and this community is that putting time and effort into making yourself a priority is critical to happiness and a life worth living. The rest will follow. Sorry I guess I didn’t really answer the question, but thank YOU for this wake up call.
The biggest way that I take care of myself to ensure I can show up for others is feed my body and brain! Some days that means heaps of greens and a meditation reading, others it means pizza with tons of ranch and the super good pep that rolls up on the sides coupled with a phone call to someone who sweeps me away in conversation. Feed the body, feed the brain, feed the soul that so often dictates what is “good” or “bad,” feed others. Rejuvenate. Repeat.
