Jessica Dimas, self-care blogger and law of attraction junkie joins us today to talk about the fact that we both went a month without self-care. Listen in on our short but sweet convo about what it looked like to go a month without self-care and why sometimes it's necessary. After the interview stay tuned to hear my take on 10 steps we can take to make a fresh start in any area of life, but especially self-care.

We are living in a time period that has a lot of people feeling fearful, anxious, confused, sad, you name it. With this crazy election around the corner, natural disasters and uprisings, it is easy to throw self-care out the window, put up your guard and feel as if you have no control which can lead to living a fear-based lifestyle. Luckily, there are ways that we can use self-care and compassion to create a happier and more hopeful lifestyle that encourages others and brings people together. Today on the show we have Christy Tending, a self-care mentor, healer, and climate justice activist. She supports people who want to change the world develop amazing self-care practices so they can do their work more effectively and with more joy. She mentors change-makers one-on-one and offers online courses in meditation, breathing, and creating a sacred practice.

Cass McCrory, author of the subraction project is here today to talk about her passion project and how taking things out of our life (like limiting beliefs) can lead to a life full of love and flow. We are also going to be talking all about how Cass found herself out of the flow and now strives to live everyday IN the flow, we will hear all about what flow living looks like and all of the benefits -- and how you can go with the flow too. Cass wants us to be open and receptive to what you WANT to do instead of what you SHOULD do.

Procrastination is something that I have dealt with since I was in high school. I don't even want to know how many minutes I have wasted procrastinating. But I will not procrastinate anymore! (I hope). After doing some research and taking into account my day to day experiences I created this episode to talk about ways we can beat procrastination... What does MY procrastination (and probably yours) look like: phone time, aimlessly scrolling through Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat aka "the social media black hole" finding something else to do entirely becoming overwhelmed and writing out an extreme to-do list that is unrealistic acting as if there will be another time to do it "i'll do it later" avoidance housework eating/grazing any and every distraction I can think up Today we talk a little bit about the Science of Procrastination: I find that looking into the science or the meaning of something helps to understand and make it less scary and a real issue which in turn makes it easier to defeat (this is true with anxiety as well) And of course, the ways we can beat procrastination! www.beingcarefull.com www.carefullcandles.etsy.com -- promo code PUMPKIN for 15% off We are sponsored!

"Self-care is not something that is an indulgence or something that should only happen once a month, it's a spiritual opportunity, it's an opportunity to heal yourself from past wounds, and past self- limiting beliefs. Everytime that you're taking time with yourself to do self care you're allowing yourself to have a voice, to dream, to tell yourself that you're just as important as everyone else in your life. Look at self-care differently, its a time for you to be with you, because when you check in with you everything in life just starts flowing and your life gets so much better and everyone in your life gets to benefit." - Jessica Dimas; www.jessicadimas.com & today's wonderful guest!
