The Cost of Self-Care

In this episode, “The Cost of Self-Care,” I explore the reality of investing time and energy in daily self-care. Many people expect self-care to always be fun and enjoyable, but the truth is, some practices that are good for us don’t feel good. Discomfort is normal as we start with an exercise regimen, therapy, mindfulness practices, or saying no to people and things so we can say yes to ourselves. But the question is, are you willing to invest in your health and well-being? Are you willing to push past the discomfort and stay the course?

So many people start and then stop prioritizing self-care prematurely because they aren’t informed about the realities of leading a self-care-rich lifestyle. Although it can enhance the mind, body, spirit, and relationships, it may initially feel like a dread as you make it a seamless part of your daily life.

Episode takeaways:

• Self-care requires an investment of time.
• The opportunity costs of self-care.
• The discomfort of self-care.
