What is self-care<\/a>, anyway?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of those phrases that is thrown around so often that the definition has become a little fuzzy. Think about how many \u201call-natural,\u201d \u201cfat-burning,\u201d \u201csuper-foods\u201d there are on the market now. As an author and blogger, this is both amusing and frustrating to me. But as a certified health and wellness coach, it\u2019s my J-O-B to give clear, informed advice about healthy living. There\u2019s so much information out there (even I write about it!<\/a>) that maybe the best way to define self-care is to first talk about what it isn\u2019t<\/em>. Let the myth-busting begin!<\/p>\n

MYTH: <\/strong>\u201cSelf-care is\u2026 sneaking snacks from your no-no list, because \u201cyou deserve it\u201d! Venti double-shot nonfat caramel macchiato, coming up! Was it a stressful day? Add a chocolate chunk cookie, please!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

The Truth:<\/strong> When it comes to self-care, treating yourself means treating yourself well<\/em>, not with foods that make you feel sick and sluggish<\/a> and leave you feeling guilty<\/a>. Treating yourself at the end of a day is not eating three-too-many gluten dairy and sugar-bombed cookies. It may feel good in the moment but you probably won’t feel good in the morning. Am I right? I\u2019m not suggesting anyone deny themselves life\u2019s sweet little indulgences! But they shouldn\u2019t be in the same category as your multi-vitamin or an Epsom salt bath.<\/p>\n

MYTH<\/strong>: \u201cSelf-care is\u2026 tackling the problem head-on. Break out the arsenal! You\u2019ve got a vitamin for every symptom under the sun, from A to Zinc, and even Chinese ones you can\u2019t pronounce. If 1,000mg of Vitamin C is good for you, 2,000 must be twice as good!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

The Truth:<\/strong> When you need all fingers and toes to count the number of remedies you\u2019re putting into your system, you might want to consider cutting back. How can you tell how effective a single treatment is if you\u2019re combining it with a hundred other things? In my experience, when it comes to your health, throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks isn\u2019t just ineffective, it can be downright dangerous<\/a>, too. When you introduce something new into your routine, pay special attention to how your body reacts, and whether you actually feel better as a result. Listen to what your body is telling you<\/a>! PS – The best way to get your vitamins is to eat<\/em> them<\/a> in the form of a healthy diet\u00a0of whole, nutrient-dense foods.<\/p>\n

MYTH:<\/strong> \u201cSelf-care is\u2026 a little retail therapy when you\u2019ve had a bad day\u2026 regardless of your glaring credit card bill. Money comes and goes, right?\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

The Truth: <\/strong>Retail therapy has nothing to do with your actual wellbeing; using it as a band-aid for stress\u00a0might actually have the opposite effect<\/a>, especially if you\u2019re worried about money or security. Self-care isn\u2019t just a physical thing; it\u2019s about your mental, emotional, and financial wellbeing too.<\/p>\n

MYTH: <\/strong>\u201cSelf-care is\u2026 self-preservation! Sticking up for myself when I\u2019ve been wronged, whether in a romantic relationship, a friendship, at work, or with family. I have every right to be furious! Screw him\/her\/them!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Truth: <\/strong>Feelings of resentment and defensiveness, whether justified or not, are still crappy feelings. Holding onto them has a negative effect on your body and mind<\/a>. Flip the script and rewrite the ending so that you feel calm, compassionate, and empowered. Your thoughts create a sense of wellbeing<\/a>, so don\u2019t hold onto negative ones, no matter how\u00a0egregious the crime. There is also something to be said for letting go and making space for other people, being open to true connection, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable.<\/p>\n

Still with me? Hold on tight and get ready for the biggest myth of all\u2026<\/p>\n

MYTH:<\/em><\/strong> \u201cSelf-care is\u2026 turmeric, ginger, lemon, echinacea, acupuncture, hypnosis, goji berries, sound baths, personal trainers, the Paleo diet, aromatherapy, yoga, raw foods, crystals, incense, barre class, those funny frog shoes with all the toes… and a partridge in a pear tree.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

The Truth: <\/strong>With all the amazing, holistic options we have to choose from today, self-care can feel a lot like trying to keep up with the Joneses. The vitamin aisle at Whole Foods feels like it\u2019s a mile long, and so is the list of things you could be doing to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Throwing everything but the kitchen sink into your routine isn\u2019t just expensive<\/a> and time-consuming, it\u2019s downright exhausting. Keep perspective and do what\u2019s right for you. Remember the importance of slowing down, tuning into yourself, and asking yourself what feels right for you.<\/p>\n

I know, I\u2019ve basically up-ended the whole notion of self-care. But I won\u2019t leave you hanging. Let\u2019s set the record straight.<\/p>\n

What Is Self-Care, Anyway?<\/h3>\n

Self-care is a way of practicing personal rituals of self-soothing techniques so they pay dividends when it comes to the rest of your life. Self-care is always being there for ourselves, treating ourselves like we would someone we love, and making choices that increase our long-term emotional and physical health and sense of wellbeing. It\u2019s choosing to exercise, eating healthy foods, getting enough sleep, practicing relaxation techniques<\/a>, spending time in nature, taking long walks, and engaging in and enjoying a variety of creative pursuits. It begins by creating the space for you to take care of you<\/em>. Because when you make that space, you allow your \u201cself\u201d to grow, heal, flourish, and rock the world. And that\u2019s something all of us deserve.<\/p>\n
