If you struggle with self-care - with knowing how to do it, having the time for it or the desire to actually do it - then you are not alone. I struggled with self-care for years. It felt like another thing on my to-do list. Another should. Another chore. And to the part of me that was driven, ambitious and purely interested in me getting the results I wanted, rest and self-care felt like a threat. Like I was slacking. Wasting time. Getting behind.
And so for years I struggled with this internal battle. One part of me - a nurturing, nourishing side that longed for me to feel good and be full of vitality - wanted me to focus on looking after myself and practicing self-care. But another part of me - my drive and ambition - didn’t give a damn about how I felt. It just wanted results. And that was the side that always won.
And so for years I powered through, on coffee-fuelled late nights, cramming too much into my days, burning out on repeat.
Until finally I stumbled upon the concept of managing your energy. And it changed everything.
Suddenly my nurturing side and my drive and ambition were all on the same page. And ever since, they have been team mates that work together to help me both feel good and do my best work.
So if you’ve ever felt like self-care just isn’t made for you, then this episode is for you. I’m going to show you how to finally get your inner drive and ambition on board so that it will suddenly want to prioritise you looking after yourself. Every day. And with ease!
So, hit play on the episode and let’s dive in!
