All Things Relax with Sandi D.
Ep 40: Eliminate Stress & Elevate Your Self Care
This week Sandi D. talks about asking for help and how delegating tasks whether at home or on the job is an integral part of self care. She discusses how often people don’t ask for help because the inner critic or inner bully tells us (consciously or subconsciously) that we are weak or incompetent if we reach out for help.
Taking an inventory of what’s causing your stress and deciding which stressors are prime areas for reaching out for help and potentially delegating to others.
It’s important to find someone you can reach out to--whether it be a therapist, friend, spouse / partner, or even a coach. Sometimes just talking it through can help you find solutions you might not have considered.
Sandi D. shares how adopting a new puppy, Joey, reminds her of the overwhelming exhaustion and stress that new moms experience. Following her intuition as a new mom when her firstborn couldn’t sleep at night resulted in a significant medical diagnosis requiring surgery.
Sandi raises the question of (typical) American work habits as compared to what she’s observed outside the US and cites a Business Insider article that lists several habits that are not healthy for work / life balance. She talks about setting boundaries, especially between work and home life.
