Why self-care feels impossible
|
If you’ve ever promised yourself you’d start taking better care of yourself, only to feel too exhausted or too busy, you’re not alone. The truth is most of us struggle with self-care not because we lack discipline, but because:
That’s why I created the Weekly Self-Care Planner. To help you build self-care into your life in a way that feels good, not like another obligation. It’s a simple, fun way to track the little things that make a big impact: movement breaks, mindfulness, nutrition... so you can actually feel better, without the pressure. I've infused it with my favourite methods and resources I use with my clients. Think of it as your friendly, low-effort guide to actually prioritising yourself. You don’t have to do it all perfectly. You just have to start. And this planner will help you stay on track with compassion. Oh yeah, and it's free. Om, peace. Clem P.S. Self-care gives us more time and energy. This is your gentle nudge to start. 🧡 P.P.S Do you have a friend who’s always putting themselves last? Feel free to forward this email to them 😊 |

I know, you know, we all know that we sit too much. And when we do, our hips become tight and weak. They gradually lose their ability to both move and stabilise our lower...
6.5 hours a day. It's the average amount of screen time for a woman my age. I've seen it in myself and in my clients: when we start wanting to take better care of ourselves, there always comes a moment when we realise we're going to have to reduce our screen time. And it's hard. It's hard because it's become automatic, and everything is designed to bring us back often, and especially to keep us there as long as possible. But this screen time also translates into neck tension, fatigue, rising...
Shouldn't we be hibernating right now? I don't know about you, but I feel like this is what my whole body is screaming at me at the moment. And judging by the messages I've been getting from clients and friends, I'm far from alone in this. For most of us, the last stretch of the year is also the busiest, the fastest, the exhaustingest. Projects to finish at work, presents to buy, festivities to prepare... The list doesn't end. But our energy does. While it's vital that we pace ourselves if we...
