"What if we exercised, ate well, dressed nicely for ourselves? Wouldn't that feel interesting?"
Imagine being tasked with caring for a creature – a responsibility that demands your utmost attention and dedication. Now, think about applying that same principle to yourself. This episode of Levelheaded Talk, hosted by Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero, dives into the importance of self-care and how neglecting it impacts our lives and relationships. Dr.
Vitz shares her wisdom on how many of us expect others to care for us, leading to feelings of disappointment and hysteria when they fall short. She encourages listeners to take charge of their own well-being by treating themselves with the same care and kindness they would extend to others. Dr. Vitz uses relatable anecdotes and practical advice to highlight how self-care is often misunderstood.
For instance, she recalls a time when she threw herself onto a massage table, thinking she was practising self-care, only to realise she was asking someone else to care for her body. This revelation underscores the need for intentionality in self-care – it's not just about going through the motions but genuinely caring for oneself.
The episode challenges listeners to reflect on their daily habits and consider where they might be 'flopping' in life – neglecting their own needs and expecting others to fill the gaps. Dr. Vitz suggests simple yet transformative actions like choosing friends wisely, avoiding toxic substances, and speaking kindly to oneself. These small changes can lead to significant improvements in one's mental, emotional, and physical health.
By the end of the episode, you'll be inspired to create a list of areas in your life where you could show more care. Whether it's nurturing a nearly dead plant or putting effort into your marriage, Dr. Vitz emphasises that taking responsibility for your own well-being can lead to profound changes. So, are you ready to take charge of your self-care journey?
