My name is Stephanie, it&#8217;s on your build, Steph Anya for short, and I&#8217;m a licensed marriage and family therapist. In today&#8217;s video, I&#8217;m going to break down some of the ways that I like to take care of myself, being a <a href=\"https:\/\/glownjoy.online\/wp-admin\/post-new.php\">therapist<\/a> and working with difficult subjects every day. If you&#8217;re curious, stay tuned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I still do not feel burnt out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can say that even though I have a full practice, I still do not feel burnt out. Of course, there are days where I feel very, very tired, but I still feel really energized and invigorated by the work that I do, and I think a lot of that comes from the way that I intentionally take care of myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My methods for self-care change, they evolve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It goes without saying, but I&#8217;ll say it anyway, this is not how all therapists take care of themselves. This is how I specifically take care of myself, and my methods for self-care change and evolve. I probably do updates on this video because I&#8217;m going to even share, at the end, some areas that I&#8217;m specifically going to target and work on for the rest of the year so that you guys can hold me accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work with myself instead of against myself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important thing I&#8217;ve learned about my self-care journey is to work with myself instead of against myself, meaning that my self-care should make my life easier and more enjoyable. I shouldn&#8217;t feel ashamed or guilty or more stressed while I try to take care of myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work with yourself, not against yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you see people online promoting a certain lifestyle and you&#8217;re like, &#8220;Oh, that looks amazing, they seem so mature,&#8221; and you compromise the things that you enjoy and that really work for you while trying to fit into a mold of what that &#8220;it girl&#8221; is doing or trying to become someone that you&#8217;re not, don&#8217;t. Work with yourself, not against yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep a Clean Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most underrated forms of self-care that I have really come to appreciate is keeping a clean space. A lot of times when we are just running and ripping or trying to be so productive, we let certain things slide by the wayside, you know, and then the next time you want to prepare a meal, you find yourself in a messy kitchen, or when you&#8217;re looking for that perfect shirt that makes you feel your best, you realize you haven&#8217;t cleaned it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I feel a lot better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is something that I am personally still working on, but I know that when I complete it and take care of it, I feel a lot better. When I clean my room, make the bed for the day, clean the kitchen after a meal, and keep my bathroom clean so that I can fully enjoy a bubble bath, I feel better. If I&#8217;m going to put on makeup, having everything nice and clean and neat keeps me more energized and more optimistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pamper Yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, working with myself and knowing myself form a huge part of my self-care. I really feel a lot better. Another way that a lot of us are more familiar with taking care of ourselves is through pampering. I&#8217;m the kind of person who takes a hot bath pretty much every single day. You know, some days I&#8217;ll take a shower, but I take a bath on a lot of days. I just love to sit in the bath and read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I like to keep my nails done<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another way I take care of myself is by keeping my nails done. A lot of you notice in my videos that I normally have polish on my nails, whether I put it on myself or have someone else do it. I really enjoy being able to have polished nails. You guys know I talk with my hands, and so I definitely like to have polish on my hands when possible and have my feet done, especially in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paying professionals to come to my house<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another thing that I&#8217;ve been incorporating more in this last year is actually paying professionals to come to my house, wash my hair, and set it. For the last few years, I&#8217;ve been doing it myself, and I do enjoy doing my hair, but especially with natural hair, a lot of you guys know it can be such a handful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A very nice way to treat myself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I really recognize the value of having somebody else take a look at my hair and my scalp, and I just really find that to be a very nice way to treat myself. I don&#8217;t always do it, but when I do, it just feels amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Activity is super important to me for self-care. A lot of times I feel so behind in the day, or I feel so guilty throughout the day when I haven&#8217;t done something active, whether that means going on a hike or a bike ride. We&#8217;ve done those things in previous day-in-the-life videos, and I also use Co-pilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What I love about Co-pilot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I&#8217;ve been using Copilot now for the last five or six months very regularly, and I love it. You know, again, when I work with myself, I can&#8217;t always feel motivated enough to drive to a gym, even if it&#8217;s only a 10-minute drive. What I love about Co-pilot is that my coach creates exercises based on the equipment I have. She found out what equipment I have here. I don&#8217;t have a 10-pound weight, but I have an 8-pound weight, I have a yoga ball, I have a jump rope, and she uses whatever I have to build my workouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I really like the flexibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when I want to go to the gym, she&#8217;ll build a workout for me at the gym, including this amount of time on the treadmill and this amount of time on this machine, and so I really like the flexibility. And if I decide to go on a hike or ride the bike, my watch communicates to her how many calories I burned with that exercise. That way, she knows, for example, if I did a lot of leg work in the past week, maybe we&#8217;ll pull back on the leg work this upcoming week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I&#8217;m huge on reading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Co-pilot holds me accountable to other things now outside of working out, including habits like reading. So one of my favorite ways to really distract myself and also learn is to read. I&#8217;m huge on reading, and it&#8217;s one of my go-to methods of dealing with stress. This month alone, I&#8217;ve read nine books, and so in Copilot, you can add whatever habits you&#8217;re interested in building. I added &#8220;read a chapter of a book every day,&#8221; so I get that double satisfaction of reading as well as crossing something off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I love Copilot for the habit-building skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I love Copilot for the habit-building skills, whether they&#8217;re physical or not. So make sure you check out the description box for the link to Co-pilot so you can try it out for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another huge aspect of my personal self-care involves finding the balance between being part of a community and maintaining boundaries in situations that don&#8217;t feel good for me. And so socially, I try to connect with people who love the same things I do. I have friends who love plants, like I love plants, I&#8217;m part of a book club, and I found community on Goodreads. So I love to read, and I love to see what people are reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you&#8217;re on Goodreads, guys, find me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know, I found community for just even being married, with a group of women who are also married and navigating marriage. I have a group of therapist friends that I meet with. Some I work with, some I used to work with, and some I used to serve on boards with. It&#8217;s just really nice when you can find people who want to talk about the same things that you want to talk about, and you don&#8217;t have to feel like you&#8217;re geeking out too much or boring them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t be afraid to meet new people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Really be cognizant of your surroundings and the community that you purposefully find. Hopefully, your family or friends will provide enough community for you, but if you need to find community outside of that, don&#8217;t be afraid to meet new people and put yourself out there. I found it to be really, really rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Social Media<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another boundary that I have around my social life involves social media. This is just a personal preference. I find that when I spend a lot of time on social media, I start comparing myself, I start feeling drained, and I might start feeling pressure to perform. Those things are just not good for my mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I like to challenge my mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I set a limit on my social media use across platforms per day. It&#8217;s actually very, very doable, and I very rarely hit that mark. You know, instead, I like to challenge my mind. A lot of times I&#8217;ll do crossword puzzles, I love to do word searches, and I love to do Sudoku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">That&#8217;s just my experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are just some of the things that I enjoy doing. They engage my mind and give me the opportunity to spend some time alone and not so much time online, because I get burnt out easily when I spend too much time on social media. But again, that&#8217;s just me. I&#8217;m not shaming social media; that&#8217;s just my experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nutrition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another very important and underestimated aspect of self-care is nutrition. I try to make sure that I eat fruits and veggies every single day, and I take vitamins every single day. The way I work with myself is that I know if I keep something in the house, I am going to eat it, okay? So I don&#8217;t even buy snacks that I won&#8217;t feel good about eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I can&#8217;t stay committed to my own health and fitness goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I want those snacks, I have to hop in the car, drive somewhere, get a single portion, eat it, and that&#8217;s the end. And so working with myself is really, really important, because otherwise, I can&#8217;t stay committed to my own health and fitness goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another important thing for me is traveling. With us, we prioritize traveling because that, for us, makes our life richer and more fulfilling. We don&#8217;t really buy expensive items. We buy used cars, and we didn&#8217;t buy an expensive home because we wanted to have enough money to support traveling and create other memories or even fund businesses and things like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Figuring out what your priorities are<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So figuring out what your priorities are is important. Maybe for you it&#8217;s the opposite. You spend the most time at home, so you want to make sure you have a luxury home, a luxury car, and nice decor. That is just working with yourself again and not against yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some things I&#8217;m working on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So now I&#8217;m going to share with you guys some things I&#8217;m working on, because I don&#8217;t want to give you guys the impression that I have self-care all figured out and that everything is perfect. Absolutely not, okay? There are things I&#8217;m working on, and I&#8217;m going to share those things with you guys for transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drinking more water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the first thing I want to work on is drinking more water. I drink a good amount of water, but I could drink so much more water. I think I spent a lot of time dehydrated, and especially when I talk so much throughout the day as a therapist or record videos, I get so thirsty and tired by the end of the day simply because I probably haven&#8217;t consumed enough water. So this is the area that I definitely, definitely need to work on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting to bed earlier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another thing that I&#8217;m working on is getting to bed earlier, because when we travel, we might go to sleep earlier because we&#8217;re in a different time zone, and I usually feel better during those times. That&#8217;s not to say that I&#8217;m trying to make myself wake up any earlier, but I kind of would like to get to bed a little bit earlier, because it takes me a while to fall asleep, and I don&#8217;t want to finally fall asleep around three or four in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adding an extra day of working out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So this is something else that I want to focus on. Another thing I&#8217;m looking forward to trying is adding an extra day of working out. I&#8217;m going to communicate that to my Co-pilot coach this week. I&#8217;m going to work harder to keep certain spaces clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our bedroom gets cluttered so quickly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our bedroom gets cluttered so quickly because we take off clothes, change, and might not feel like making the bed. But these last few weeks, I&#8217;ve been really committed to trying to keep our space clean. That includes doing things like making sure that when I do the laundry, I wash, dry, fold, and hang things up on the same day so that we don&#8217;t have a bunch of laundry baskets around our room. Otherwise, I end up wearing everything out of my laundry basket, and it&#8217;s time to do the laundry all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One less thing that I&#8217;m worried about<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I&#8217;ve been trying to stay a little bit more on top of that, because I think that will help me have one less thing to worry about that&#8217;s using brain space or making me feel guilty, which, of course, we want to target less skill and more positive affect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the number one recommendation you have for self-care?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m curious, what is the number one recommendation you have for self-care? What do you love to do that makes you feel your absolute best? Thank you to Co-pilot for sponsoring this video. Be sure to check them out in the description box below.
