Ep. 112: Affordable Self-Care (with Dr. Jenn Hardy)

This week's episode of Your Anxiety Toolkit Podcast will really change the way you look at and relate to Self-care. In this episode, we aren't talking about luxurious, expensive and unsustainable self-care. We are talking about affordable self-care. And, we are talking about self-care that costs NOTHING! If you struggle with self-care, this is the episode for you. If you struggle to even be aware of when you need self-care, this is the episode for you.

In this episode, we talk with Psychologist Dr. Jenn Hardy about how marketing and media have made self-care into something that should look perfect, cost a lot of money and be luxurious. Dr. Jenn Hardy brings up the wonderful point that a self-care plan that is expensive and indulgent is not sustainable and won't fit into most people's daily lives. Dr. Jenn Hardy addresses a concept she coined, affordable self-care, which is taking care of your basic needs and making time each day to give your body and mind what it needs.

Here are a few examples of affordable self-care that you can include into your life in simple and easy ways.

Going pee when you need to pee
Journaling
Slowing down
Taking a breath between activities
Honoring what your body needs
Saying no to things

The thing I love the most about this episode is that we learn just how accessible affordable self-care is. We all have access to affordable self-care, no matter what your income is, where you live and what you do for a living.
