Episode 7
What is self care and why should I do it?
Self care impacts everything - your health, your relationships, your work. In this episode with Tom Weaver, we cover Tom's pillars of self care.
The 8 Pillars include:
Sleep - misconceptions, how to do it right, breathing at night, my strict boundaries, no screens
Movement - how movement is different to exercise - the threshold being 5649 steps not 10,000
Nutrition - how can we listen to our bodies, what you can do test it
Hydration - the liquid we drink, how much and how often
Breath - The nose not the mouth, What we are doing wrong, I could talk for more than 2 hours on this topic alone
Stillness - The hardest one for me, stillness is more than meditation,
Purpose - I can go into why I felt I needed to leave construction to do what I do now.
Relationships - speaking to real people, being connected through other means than digitally.
