Have you ever struggled to find time for yourself, only to feel guilty when you finally do?

In this episode of Wellbeing Interrupted, we explore why 'Me Time' is not a luxury but a vital aspect of health management. Inspired by the recent news of Shannen Doherty's passing and reflecting on my own journey with Stage 4 breast cancer, I discuss the importance of prioritising personal well-being. 

Join me as we debunk the myth that taking time for ourselves is selfish, and understand how it's crucial for not only our health but for being present and supportive of those we care about.

KEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS:

  • Set Boundaries: Be clear about what you can handle and say no when necessary. It’s about being flexible and having conversations to ensure activities align with your needs.
  • Schedule It: Plan for 'Me Time' by blocking out time in your schedule, treating it as important as any other appointment.
  • Create Rituals: Morning or evening rituals can be a great way to ensure you have 'Me Time' every day, such as enjoying a cup of tea in silence, journaling, or following a skincare routine.
  • Pursue a Passion: Reconnect with activities that bring you joy and relaxation, reminding yourself why these passions matter.
  • Digital Detox: Take breaks from digital devices to reduce stress and improve your connection with yourself and others.
