Have you tried to find the Holy Grail of Self-Care, only to find that the shiny objects, trendy solutions, and expensive buys were quick fixes that left you disappointed? I've been there a thousand times. Self-care failed me. We know it's important to take care of our mental health, body, and our soul, but it feels like a losing battle in our fast-paced, busy, demanding culture. Whether you're a professional or retired, a mom or a college student, the world and the Christian church give us mixed messages on how to manage stress, take care of ourselves, and be living, leading, and loving from a place of full, rather than empty.
With a history of self-care blunders, people-pleasing, and perfectionism, Kerri draws from her personal experience and advanced studies and presents a fresh perspective on a tired-out idea. The truth is, self-care is essential to thrive, but most of us have been sold a bag of useless trash that does nothing to reduce stress or help us connect with the true person we are.
In this episode you'll learn why we go after shiny objects, how to define self-care for real, how to stop sabotaging your goals and growth, and a simple, free, no-mess, extremely effective self-care practice that you can do today and everyday.
