Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:44And I've got one more question for you. This is again from one of our listeners who said,

0:48Haesue Jo:I feel like there's almost too much information available on self-care and it's almost overwhelming. Could you simplify things and just give us some basics that we could do each day that would help with our self-care? In this day and age, it is very overwhelming. There's thousands of ads that we get everywhere for this wellness product and that. That's not to say that all that stuff shouldn't be here. There's a lot of helpful stuff that have come onto the market that's really great. But when we want to simplify and get to the basics of what self-care is, you want to remember that sometimes self-care is not indulgent stuff that makes us feel good all the time right in that moment.

1:28A really good example of this is exercise and regular movement. A lot of people don't really want to get up and work out all the time, let alone a few times a week, or you know, the recommended 7 ,000, 10 ,000 steps a day, 30 minutes of cardio, three times a week, like whatever it is. Sometimes people just don't want to do that. But this is a great example of self-care looking like going out of your way to prioritize your wellness. If you think about somebody that you care very, very, very deeply, if they called you at 3am saying they're stranded somewhere, you would probably get up out of bed and go get them.

2:04But when's the last time you would go to that level of kind of like trouble for yourself? You know, a lot of times we choose to relax over these things that we don't want to do. Regular movement on a regular basis is super important. And of course, if you have injuries, if you have certain specific things going on with your body, you want to check in with your own doctor, make sure everything is cleared to go. But we are not meant to sit around and be sedentary all the time. We are evolved to be moving and on our feet for a lot of the day. But our modern lifestyles are very different. Our modern lifestyles have brought us to the desk, have brought us to a chair, have brought us into a car, have brought us into this position that we're really not meant to be in.

2:50You know, anybody that you ask, they'll say if they sit for over X amount of hours or are lying down for X amount of hours, your back starts to hurt. It's your body telling you to get up. You need to move around and get limber. And two other really simple things that are basic to self-care is sleep. Sleep hygiene is what's going to help you with regular good sleep. Insomnia is a plague to all of us as modern people. And when we are deprived of sleep, we lose cognitive ability. We're more prone to being emotionally distressed. We can't focus. You know, there's a lot of sleep studies out there and research showing that people deprived of sleep for X amount of hours will experience psychosis.

3:33depriving people of sleep is used as a torture method so when you think of it that way sleep go to sleep people and and a lot of folks have challenges in getting themselves to sleep at a reasonable hour because of another thing that we're all talking about now called revenge procrastination people tend to stay up really late at night because they feel like they didn't have a lot of control over the events of the day and now nighttime is my me time so if that's happening to you, you might want to reevaluate how you're prioritizing time or how time is being allotted throughout the week so that you can have me time during normal waking hours and then also focusing and prioritizing the me time in terms of sleeping.

4:19And finally, what you're consuming. I'm very much talking about what you eat, but really I see it as what you're consuming everywhere. Garbage in, garbage out. So get in some good, nutritious, whole things that are nourishing to your body's needs. Of course, if you have individual considerations, you might want to connect with a professional in that way. But if you're consuming good stuff, then good stuff will come out, right? If you're consuming bad stuff, that's what you're going to, I think, bring into the universe too.

4:51Haesue Jo:Social media is a really interesting example. People love this stuff. They're addicted to doom scrolling. The fact that we call it doom scrolling, I think it's really telling to what it is that we're doing. So if you're finding yourself using social media to numb out other stuff, then it's probably no longer a benefit to your life.
