Taking Care of ME

Taking Care of ME

Hey, I'm Shauna Pavone from Dandelion Momma. Join me in this podcast as I explore what "Taking Care of Me" means - I mean, what is self care anyway? What practices and strategies actually work? And how do I even begin to fit them into my already busy life??? We will attempt to answer these questions and more as we help each other ditch guilt and find the time to practice self care (whatever that looks like) to create a more enjoyable, calmer and present lives. I know we are busy and have a million things on the go and are drowning in our To Do lists, so we will focusing on small, sustainable steps to find self care practices and techniques that actually work!

Ironically, I realized what I needed in that moment - after the fact...but I thought I'd share so you can learn from my mistakes :) This episode includes a mini hypnosis session - so please ensure you listen to that part ...

Hey! In this episode I'm sharing my #1, easiest way for me to access my inner calm.

I share a mini hypnosis recording in the middle (13:00-19:40) that walks you through the exact steps I take. This technique uses an action, paired with you being in a...

We live in such a "must accomplish all the things" world that sometimes just doing nothing feels so wrong. I often feel so much guilt around giving myself space to just do nothing, not try to complete all the to do's. It's my new goal. Do nothing. Just be. Enjoy.

Are our expectations of ourself fair? Do you ever take a second to become more aware of what expectations you place on yourself? To see if you even agree with these expectations? Think about where they came from? I get a LOT of confidence in my self-care actions when I've taken a minute to dive real deep into what my expectations for myself are. Take a listen.

In this episode I dive into what my self-care routine looks like - and it's not bubble baths and spa days. It's about real, small actions that help me be more aware of what I need and how I can get that. It's about being realistic with my resources and sustainable. It's about figuring out what I REALLY need in the moment. Want more resources on this? Reach out, I'm happy to share!
