Ep 47: Is Your Self Care Routine Serving You?

Episode summary:
After a recent talk centering on burnout and self care for a group of registered dietitians, Jen has found herself coming back to the idea of finding the self care practices that serve the individual. 

In this episode, Jen shares her most effective self care practices and the ways that she has adapted them to work for her. Not all of these will work for everyone, but they are tools to add to your self care toolbox. 

From techniques for evaluating your current self care routine to determine if it is actually causing stress to ideas for slowing down and removing yourself from the busyness cycle, this episode will help anyone trying to incorporate more meaningful self care practices into their life.

“There needs to be time in your day in which things are calm, where things just slow down.”

“What would it mean to be done for the day?” – Oliver Berkman
