What is self care and why should I do it?

Mindset, Mood & Movement: Performance, Purpose & Peace

Self care impacts everything - your health, your relationships, your work. In this episode with Tom Weaver, we cover Tom's pillars of self care.

The 8 Pillars include:

Sleep - misconceptions, how to do it right, breathing at night, my strict boundaries, no screens

Movement - how movement is different to exercise - the threshold being 5649 steps not 10,000

Nutrition - how can we listen to our bodies, what you can do test it

Hydration - the liquid we drink, how much and how often

Breath - The nose not the mouth, What we are doing wrong, I could talk for more than 2 hours on this topic alone

Stillness - The hardest one for me, stillness is more than meditation,

Purpose - I can go into why I felt I needed to leave construction to do what I do now.

Relationships - speaking to real people, being connected through other means than digitally.
