Self Care: What It Really Is | Susannah Winters | TEDxHiltonHeadWomen

Self Care breaks the myth that self care is a wine party, Netflix binge, or pedicure social. Self care is what's needed for your well-being and should always leave you with more energy and feelings of revitalization. Often, the activities that are described as self-care leave you more depleted and with less energy. This talk will break the myth and discuss the 4 components of self care that will support your overall wellness;
-nourishing foods,
-stillness & movement,
-time in nature, and
-self expression.
About Susannah:

[alexisdavila]

She is so right about how just being outside makes you happy and helps with self care. Covid-19 and quarantining has definitely given everyone a new appreciation for the outdoors.

[skycranelife]

Yes! She's talking about the different between pseudo spiritualism based on materialism and real connection and self care. Really great. I wish more people realized how terrible stress is for you, and that the basics -- nutrition, sleep, movement, stillness -- are so simple.

[jakej]

Taking time to look after yourself in times of stress and anxiety, which is also important to do and anyone should be allowed to do it if they feel they need to.

[LindaEdith]

Great advice for self care! I think self care is a lot more simple than most people think. Because of social media, a lot of people think they have to spend a lot of money or indulge in over the top activities to practice self care, but that definitely isn't the case!

[MissPetiteRu]

Daily self-care is so important! Thank you for this video 💛

[walshfamilyhomestead]

This has been one of my favorite Ted Talks!! She’s spot on!

[sunnycover]

Fantastic advice. It is good to be reminded that it is a practice, just try to show up. Thank you Susannah!

[Stephanie-ny]

This was a great presentation people don't understand if you don't take care of yourself and you cannot take care of anyone else so that 30 minutes a day is worth it

[melissaoconnell]

✨ Thanks 💖🙌🏼💖 Bunches✨
I needed to hear this more than ever

[TaraWagner]

Yes! Love this. 🙌 Self-care is my JAM! I coach a lot of clients through developing and prioritizing their self-care routines and the main thing I see is that the more drained, burnt out, anxious, tired, or depressed you are, the less energy you have to do the things that will make you feel better. Just like anything else, it gains momentum and can feel impossible to do what will help us feel better - even if we WANT to. It's important to remember that:

A) It doesn’t have to be long and involved. It just has to be healthy.
B) It doesn’t have to look like we’re told self-care looks. It just has to leave us feeling a bit better than when we started.
C) There are plenty of options.

We have to focus on doing the things that’ll help you move the needle - even just a little bit.

This is a video that must be shown on broadcast television and taught to everyone especially children, so they can cope healthy not turn to addictions and escapism. Blessings 💜🙏🌎

[arttherapyacademy]

Thanks for sharing this most incredible info... it is so important for people. Making plans for self care personally, for the family and work - so important.

[TheDadventures]

Love this! Balancing work, being a dad, being a husband is tough so self care gets pushed down the list. I did a video recently on how surfing has definitely help me with self care. Great content. ❤️❤️

[doloreswaschau]

Loved this presentation. Simple things to deal with our stress factors, yet so rewarding to our well being and health.

[BeingXiluva]

appreciation for what you have is so important.

[melchan]

Thank you for this TED Talk Susannah. I really appreciate it because I agree that the concept of 'self care' has got warped into some kind of 'package'. You've reminded me that true self care really is free - it doesn't need to cost anything at all. We don't require special equipment or the most expensive things in order to practice it every single day. All it takes is committing a little time and focus. I'm about to become a parent for the first time, and despite being incredibly excited about the challenge ahead, I know that self care will be even more important now.

[jeremyredandblueify]

I couldn't find any self care videos by men. I guess I should record one.

[hqwaeleldakrory]

I must starting to do things
Really we are lost a lot of time in bad experience

[funwithms.ferris]

Love this! will be sharing it with my friends!
