Why is Self-Care so important?

Learn about why self-care is vital for our health and well-being!

Self Care: What It Really IsSelf Care breaks the myth that self care is a wine party, Netflix binge, or pedicure social. Self care is what's needed for your well-being and should always leave you with more energy and feelings of revitalization. Often, the activities that are described as self-care leave you more depleted and with less energy. This talk will break the myth and discuss the 4 components of self care that will support your overall wellness; -nourishing foods, -stillness & movement, -time in nature, and -self expression. About Susannah: -Susannah raced Sprint Kayaks on the USA National Kayak Team for almost 10 years, racing at 5 World Championships and competing at Olympic Trials in 2004 and 2008. She retired in 2008. -10 years working for Lululemon Athletica, opening & renovating multiple stores across the country, hiring and training hundreds of employees, as well as implementing innovative community outreach. She did this as a working mom and did not practice self care through either of those experiences and learned the impact of not taking care of herself. She currently lives on Hilton Head Island and is a full-time mom, Doula, essential oil enthusiast as well as creating online personal development programs to support moms with their goals and self care rituals.

Why we all need to practice emotional first aidWe'll go to the doctor when we feel flu-ish or a nagging pain. So why don't we see a health professional when we feel emotional pain: guilt, loss, loneliness? Too many of us deal with common psychological-health issues on our own, says Guy Winch. But we don't have to. He makes a compelling case to practice emotional hygiene — taking care of our emotions, our minds, with the same diligence we take care of our bodies.

Refreshing your Mind 10 minutes a day!

The transformative power of refreshing your mind through mindfulness!

All it takes is 10 mindful minutesWhen is the last time you did absolutely nothing for 10 whole minutes? Not texting, talking or even thinking? Mindfulness expert Andy Puddicombe describes the transformative power of doing just that: Refreshing your mind for 10 minutes a day, simply by being mindful and experiencing the present moment. (No need for incense or sitting in uncomfortable positions.)

Because we hang out with our own bodies and minds all the time, we tend to take them for granted and forget how amazing they are.

Eating a healthy, balanced diet; getting enough sleep; being physically active; being social.

taking care of these basics helps us be as physically and, in turn, mentally healthy.
