Finding Joy in Everyday Living
In these times, many of us battle with stress, anxiety, depression, and other feelings of hopelessness. It can be hard to find even the smallest ray of hope with so much uncertainty. I’ve found that dedicating life to mindfulness, and practicing self care regularly makes all the difference. Self care is unique to you and your needs. You may engage in deep breathing practices, yoga, eating your favorite meal, a long phone call with a loved one, going to bed early, etc. What we also sometimes forget is to remind ourselves we are so deserving of moments of joy when they come.

Self Care: Let Go of the Guilt | The Wonderfully Made Podcast
Hey healthy bunnies, I have gotten a lot of messages over the years thanking me for the reminder of self care, all the while telling me it is either not feasible or not realistic for them to put into practice. I hear women and men of all ages list the things they have to do and who they have to do them for, with not so much as a mention of self. How do we propose we get all these things done day-in and day-out without taking the time we need to recharge ourselves? In this latest podcast episode, I explore what self care means and how we can let…
