Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are some good self-care tips for people that are busy all of the time?
A. Great question! Self-care practices can take as little as 5 minutes when you’re mindful. Self-care means making a promise to yourself to set aside some time for YOU. Ex: 5 min walk outside, 5 min brain dump, 5 min of reading, list 3 things you’re grateful for, listen to a podcast
Q: I keep trying to start healthy habits and change my old habits, but I can’t stay consistent. How do I change this?
A. The best form of self-care is to keep promises to yourself. We often think of self-care as bubble baths and face masks, but we forget that the best thing that we can do is stay consistent and show up for ourselves. Start small. Make a small, measurable goal that you can achieve daily and master it. THEN, you can add and build. We get so caught up in changing our lives over night, and we forget that it takes time. It takes time to build and grow. It’s about the little goals that grow into our big goals. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Q: How do I know if I’m experiencing burnout?
A. We tend to blur the lines of productivity and burnout. Signs of burnout include physical exhaustion, mental fatigue, poor emotional regulation, and more. Here’s a non-exhaustive list of signs/symptoms of burnout: exhaustion, insomnia/hypersomnia, anxiety, irritability, frequent illness, procrastination, headaches, apathy, depersonalization…
Q: What’s the best exercise to lose weight?
A. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to losing weight. There’s scientific evidence that supports different styles of exercises and training that fit different goals. The best approach to fitness is to do what motivates YOU – not what instagram or TikTok tells you is the best. There will be trial and error. There will be patience. And ultimately, it comes down to what you will stay consistent with and find the motivation to do for 80% of your week.
Q: How can I build habits when I’m so limited on time in my day?
A. Two words: habit stacking. Habit stacking is pairing a new habit with an automatic behavior that already exists in you day-to-day. If a daily walk is apart of your routine, pair your walk with an audiobook or podcast. If a cup of coffee in the morning is your daily routine, pair this with 5 minutes of meditation.
