Krista and I did an interview/workshop with Dr. Robyn Gobin about emotional self-care. You will be able to see the interview/workshop with Dr. Gobin at the virtual Take Care of You School Event happening April 9, 2022.
Emotional self-care might just be the key to the castle of self-care for me. If I’m committed to being my own best friend, I’m more likely to allow self-care to enter other parts of my life. And I’m starting to see it play out it my life. I feel less guilty for taking time out of a busy day to workout or meditate.
Dr. Gobin has a very clear way of communicating the importance of and strategies for self-care. Recently I watched this video where Dr. Gobin talks about asking for help and not going it alone. It really spoke to me. I often think that I’m the only one on the playing field. I have to bat, pitch and catch and then I have to clean the stadium after the game is over because there’s no one around to help me. Okay, maybe there are some people around, but they don’t want to help me…and I might owe them something if they do help…and they probably won’t help the way I want them to help…
In the video Dr. Gobin address our challenges with asking for help and she takes it a step further. She explains that if we actually did ask for some help, we could delegate some of our tasks, and then have more time for self-care. You can check out the video here:
