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 😊 |

There's a word that's often used to talk about yoga, and it annoys me for two reasons: because it's laden with spiritual-charlatan connotations because unfortunately, there's no better word to describe yoga That word is holistic. What does it actually mean? It means we take the whole person into account. That yoga has an impact on our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health... nothing less. And I'm talking about this today because I know you don't have much time. That you're looking...
I need to tell you something that one of my clients shared with me last week. She told me she was always afraid to come into a low lunge, because teachers have told her many times that she should never let her front knee go past her toes in a lunge, or she might hurt herself. The dangerous lunge! It's an unfortunately common cue, and it's also complete nonsense. Your knee goes past your toes every single time you climb stairs, get up from a chair, or squat down. It's a completely natural...
It's not always easy to find your way when you're starting out with yoga and you're faced with the multitude of styles that exist. It puts off more than a few people, which is completely normal, but it's also such a shame 🐘 That's why I've decided to create an episode on my French podcast that breaks down each of the main styles in a simple and clear way, so you know which style speaks to you, and which ones you'd rather avoid. And I thought you'd appreciate a little summary in English :)...
