Essential Self-Care Skills: From Overwhelmed to Overjoyed

What Will be Covered in This Session

Modern life is challenging and can be draining. There are financial, relationship, work, health and family demands.

Self-care practices are vital for mental and emotional wellbeing. Self-care also ensures you have enough gas in your tank to support others. After all, you can’t pour from an empty cup!

But what is genuine self-care and how do you build it into your daily life?

Discover the science behind self-care and learn self-care tools you can implement right now to show yourself a lot of love.

What you will learn...

• An understanding of your in-built happiness chemicals—what they are and how they influence your state of mind.
• The difference between pleasure and happiness, and why it matters.
• Tools for incorporating self-care into your daily routine.
• A comprehensive list of self-care activities to explore and enjoy.
• Guidance on how to create a personalised self-care plan that suits your unique lifestyle.

This workshop also includes a short self-care practice workbook.
