8/14/25: The Art of Not Doing - A Different Approach to Self-Care
In this week's episode of Self-Care with Jean, I'm flipping the script on our usual self-care conversation. Instead of talking about what TO do, we're exploring what NOT to do – because sometimes creating space for healing means knowing what to stop doing first.
I'll walk you through five essential "don'ts" that are sabotaging your self-care journey: Don't ignore that inner voice that's trying to guide you. Don't fill every single moment of your day with busyness – remember, being busy isn't a badge of honor! Don't treat your precious body like a machine that you can push until it breaks. Don't apologize for needing time for yourself – it's not a luxury, it's a necessity. And finally, don't believe you're walking this path alone, because you're not.
This episode is perfect for anyone who feels overwhelmed, constantly busy, or guilty about taking time for themselves. I'll remind you that self-care begins with the things we choose NOT to do, and that you are worthy of this care exactly as you are, right in this moment.
Join me as we create space for stillness, honor our bodies, and remember that we're all in this Earth School together, learning the most important lesson of all – love.
