Take part in your own care. And so scrubbing your feet is kind of a way of saying: you know, I love me, I deserve to be taken well care of and pampered.
Feeling overwhelmed by the demands of recovery? Paul Summers, host of 'Be Good To You', offers a refreshing take on self-care in this episode. Drawing from his personal journey as a recovering addict and alcoholic, Paul shares three straightforward ways to show yourself some love and care. First, he emphasizes the importance of taking it easy. This isn't just a cliché; it's a mantra that helped him navigate tough times.
Paul recounts how slowing down and taking things one day at a time made a significant difference in his recovery. Next, he introduces breathing exercises as a tool for stress relief and mindfulness. He even guides listeners through a simple exercise that can be done anywhere, anytime. Lastly, Paul talks about the grounding power of connecting with nature.
Walking barefoot on the earth, he explains, isn't just a quirky habit but a scientifically backed method to feel more present and balanced. To wrap it up, Paul suggests a long hot shower with a focus on scrubbing your feet—an act he describes as both detoxifying and a gesture of self-love. This episode is packed with practical tips that are easy to incorporate into your daily routine, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to recovery.
