Let's be real. Sometimes self-care is a basic b*tch and we don’t have to over complicate her. In this episode, we dive into the fundamentals of self-care: sleep, diet, exercise, and hydration. Studies have shown the impact of neglecting these basics: sleep deprivation contributes to anger, frustration, and irritability; dehydration messes with your cognitive function; and lack of exercise can lead to fatigue and depression. Your mood, mindset, creativity, and decision-making skills are ALL directly influenced by the basics! Your homework? Assess your self-care routine, assign each category a rating. Tune in to unlock the power of mastering the basics for a healthier, happier you.
