It’s time to talk about self-care, and no I don’t mean bubble baths. I’m talking about the kind of self-care that focuses on your biology, or your brain and body states. In fact, I’m so passionate about this kind of self-care, that I’ve given it its own name; I’m now referring to it as state-care. The reason for this distinction is that true self-care, or state-care, is about so much more than face masks, bubble baths, and mani-pedis. It’s about looking after yourself on a foundational level so that you can perform at your best in life and business. In this episode of the Success Genius podcast, I’m sharing the six pillars of state-care and why they are so important if you want to boost your productivity and well-being in 2024. I’m also sharing the one thing your schedule is probably missing that could be limiting your potential. Topics covered in this episode include:The six pillars of state-care How to use light and dark to support your sleep/wake cycleCreating a fitness routine that’s right for you We’ve got a lot to get through.
