Nourish Yourself

Why nourishing yourself helps you avoid burnout, why it can be so damn hard, and how to build your own nourishment plan.

So far in looking at ways to prevent burnout, we have investigated:

1. paying attention to your attention
2. listening to your body, and
3. growing your community.

Today we are looking at nourishing yourself. Before you think “OH SHUT UP WITH YOUR #CLEANLIVING DOGMA” and open a 9am hard seltzer, trust me, I have already had that thought and opened that seltzer.

I am not here to sell anything or tell you do a face mask and everything will be magically better.

Nourishing yourself is not

• punishing yourself
• restricting yourself
• consumeristic, or, buying shit and expecting it to fix everything
• getting down on yourself
• comparing yourself to others
• following anyone’s advice or intuition other than your own or someone you wholeheartedly trust

But nourishing ourselves can be easier said than done. Why is this?
